State tax filing

Hi thanks for the response.

 

I didn't touch the W2 box 16 side of things on the federal or state it has the $ amount I am trying to get back. The error seems to come from the fact that I put 0 in the KY side though the turbotax software (not the form itself).  This puts a 0 in Section B, Question 1  Column B (which used to have the $ that was mistakenly shown as taxable in KY on my W2). 3rd bullet point in your response in the "Also" section has :

  • If preparing a nonresident return solely to recover erroneous tax withholdings, enter 0 on the screen that asks for the amount of income earned in that state. This will eliminate your tax liability for that state, resulting in a full refund.

Doing this is what appears to cause the reject reason (F740NP-0004 - Form W2 filed with Kentucky wages, but not reported on Form 740-NP, Section B, line 1, column B.) because now I say I have 0 taxable from KY in that column and the eFile KY rejection is telling me I have a Form KW-2 column E that has an amount (which is a summary of the W2 KY state taxable income and taxes withheld).  Do I need to maybe override this Kentucky Form KW-2 and enter 0 in column E (titled KY State Wages (Box 16 of Form W-2)) to make the taxable match the Form 740-NP Kentucky Adjusted Gross Income amount (both being 0)? 

 

Thanks,

Bryan
