After you file

@AGirlHK you are so correct.

No one seems to understand the question I have ACTUALLY asked. I'll try this one more time.

 

Question 1 - When I initially filled out my NY return, TurboTax never prompted me to fill out Form IT-558, even though I used the software and filed after any update pertaining to the form IT-558.

New York then sent me a letter requesting Form IT-558 be filled out and returned. I want to go back into TurboTax and have the software prompt me to add Form IT-558 and assist in filling it out. I can manually add the form, but TurboTax never prompts me to assist in filling it out, and then the form disappears after I add it. Some suggest amending my NY return, but AMENDING DOES NOT WORK! All it does is make TurboTax add unnecessary docs that are not applicable because I am not officially amending, and it never gets to Form IT-558, which is the point. 

 

Since the first question seems to be unanswerable by anyone and even by the TurboTax "experts", it then leads me to:

Question 2 - If I wanted just the instructions for Form IT-558, @JohnW152 I can google that in five different languages and get the same link you sent. That's easy, obvious, and never the actual question anyone has asked. Other than that, thank you for the link.

Understanding the instructions and what's applicable pertaining to adjustments is the issue and THE ACTUAL QUESTION! I have no idea what additions and subtraction adjustments are all about. So, I guess my question would now be; since I don't know what actual adjustments are and I don't seem to have any, would I then fill in 0's (zeros) in all the spaces and that totaled?

Thank you,

FRUSTRATED with TurboTax bots answering my questions, because apparently, no real person is actually reading them.

TurboTax - the company answering the questions no one is asking.
