State tax filing

Who did you received the N288-A from?  This is a form that you are to send in with our estimated tax payments when you sell a property as a non resident of Hawaii.  

 

The N288C is for a refund of the amount you paid? ". If available, the transferor/seller should file the appropriate tax return instead of filing Form N-288C"  This is a form you would have filled out prior to tax season to claim a refund of amounts you overpaid.  At this point, this is not a form you would fill out for a refund. 

 

As a non resident in Hawaii, you would fill out a N-15 to claim a refund of any overpayment you made when you paid estimated sales tax on the sale of your property.

 

You stated that you did not get past having TurboTax transport your information.  As you walk through all the questions in TurboTax you will be asked the questions needed to fill out the Non-Resident form and properly report the sale of your property as well as claim any refund you may be entitled to or pay any additional amount if you did not pay enough.  Be sure to read and answer each question so you get to the right sections to complete your return properly.
