Thank you for the information, but I do not think you quite understand the issue at hand, probably because I did not fully explain. I entered all the needed data correctly. When I tried to e-file, TurboTax would not allow me to send my taxes because the program had only charged me for the Federal Return, not State. Even going back into the review and order menu, TurboTax would still not charge me for State. After researching the issue on the forums I found that I had to delete my State Returns and restart them. After doing this, the program charged me the appropriate fee for filing my State Returns and allowed me to e-file both State and Federal Returns.
A glitch did occur after I deleted my first State Return and started the State Return again. For some reason the program created new phantom W-2's and 1099's that showed as an error in my final review. I had to go back and manually delete them from the Federal Return process. Nothing ever changed in the amount I owed and after I deleted the dual / phantom W-2's and 1099's the program said everything was fine upon doing a review.
After successfully e-file my returns, I went over the PDF copies of my return and found an error in the data on the Schedule A of the 1040 return. For State and Local government taxes paid, the amount entered was incorrect. Because there is a $10,000 cap on this deduction, the correct amount had no affect on my actual taxes due because with the incorrect or correct amount I was over the $10,000 cap and $10,000 was all that I could claim for the deduction.
Even though the amount I can claim as a deduction is unaffected by the erroneous data, the fact remains that on basically the worksheet of the Schedule A, the information is wrong. My question therefore is do I even need to worry about this? The error does not affect my bottom line tax liability, but will it come back as an issue next year when I try and file?
