State tax filing

I had not filed any of my taxes yet. I did what @HelenC12 instructed me to do but I am not sure if this is correct. The only income we received from SC was for the sale of a home there. When I went into the federal return I went under Personal Info and went into Other State Income and under Other State Income I put that we had income in SC.  I found the Deductions & Credits tab and under Estimates and other Taxes Paid I clicked on the Estimates tab. Under the State tab I chose SC and put the estimated tax we paid during settlement in. I continued with the onscreen interview and completed SC. My VA tax reduced, but the SC tax shows a refund of the entire estimated tax paid. This doesn't seem correct to me. What am I missing? 

Initially I did not prepare the SC return first, but I went through the steps again and did the SC before the VA.
