To get past this, run through the State interview again from the beginning. Look very carefully for any amend-related screens or questions either at the beginning or towards the end of the interview. Otherwise, you may need to delete the state and re-add it. This may require you to delete the extra W-2 initially before re-triggering the amendment.
One way to see Form MI-8453 is to download the PDF. To do this in TurboTax, follow these steps:
- From the left menu, select Tax Home. Then, follow these steps:
- Scroll down to 2020 and Your tax returns & documents and Show.
- Navigate to the option to download the PDF of your return.
- The forms are named in the top left and lower right hand corners of each page.
This form is an authorization to e-file and is rarely if never required to be mailed.
See this Michigan.gov link that states:
If the MI-8453 is used to sign the e-file return and the return is e-filed by an individual taxpayer, the MI-8453 should be retained by the taxpayer.
Do not mail this form to the Michigan Department of Treasury unless requested to do so.
