@DianeW777 Thank you again. I am guessing (??) that the reason I saw the $30k was related to the rest of my return? Anyway, I did as you suggested and chose the method resulting in the lowest overall tax, and TT showed no problem with it. Nor with my original question about the boxes from out of state.
Here is what I hope is my last question on the matter. When I got to my state taxes, there was a screen which asked 5 questions. Before the questions, it said "You are not qualified to use this schedule" but I don't know what schedule it was talking about, and if I need to do anything.
In order to answer this, do you need me to list the 5 questions and my answers? I ran TT's State Check and nothing was flagged so I'm assuming this is all OK?
I now see I can attach a screenshot, which I am doing, showing the 5 questions and my answers. I've blocked otu my name.
