Thanks for the info, but unfortunately it is too late. I tried to update the W-2 on my state return but every time I moved to a different screen it would revert back to match the W-2 from my Federal return. It forced them to match. I should have waited but there are too many community chat responses that say a federal amendment is needed to fix the problem so I filed the federal amendment even though adding state wages to the W-2 changed nothing at the federal level nor did they affect the amount owned on my state return, but now my new state return is considered to be an amendment that has to be mailed in. I paid extra for State e-file and now I have to mail my return.
Why was the problem with my AL state return not caught during the TurboTax error check before filing the first time? TurboTax knows about the AL40-050 error and that Alabama wages on the W-2s have to match the wages on the federal return but it let me file it anyway.
Will the amount of state tax owed from my original state return still be drafted on the payment date that I selected (14 April) or do I need to send a check along with my amended AL state return?
