If you are uncertain about which part of the return the review message is asking, regarding state taxes, you can go back to the return, follow these steps, and see if the error is then resolved:
Any state income taxes paid through withholding will be entered from your Forms W-2, 1099-R, or other information return. If you made an additional payment toward your 2022 state taxes that wasn't reported elsewhere in your return, you can report it in the Federal section of TurboTax, under Deductions and Credits, Estimated Taxes. Select State taxes for 2022, then click on "+Add another payment". Enter the amount and date of the payment.
If you are reporting a state tax refund received in 2022 in that section of Wages and Income, TurboTax will need to know whether you deducted state taxes paid on your 2021 return. Enter payments for the state for which you received the refund. If you received refunds from more than one state, enter each one separately in TurboTax and report payments associated with that state. Use the link to Add another state or local tax refund.
Under the entry field, "Total of all your payments and withholding", a link appears, "What does this include?". The text at that link explains:
Add up any payments you made to your state or locality, along with any state or locality withholdings from the previous tax year (in this case, 2021), including:
- Amounts withheld on your W-2, W-2G, and 1099
- Estimated tax payments for 2021 (including any paid in 2022 for 2021 - it's common for the fourth quarterly payment to be made in January)
- Overpayment from 2020 applied toward your 2021 return
- Payments made with an extension of time to file
- Refundable credits
You can find most of this information on your 2021 state tax return. Do not include balance-due payments made with (or after) filing a return. Enter the total amount of all of these combined here.
See this help article for more information on entering the form.
See this article for more information about Form 1099-G.
