How can I handle receiving state refunds for 2013,14,15 all in 2017. TT wants to apply the refunds on 1040 line 10 each year instead of in 2017.
I filed 2013,2014,2015 all in 2017. I completed them in order and imported each time. unfortunately, I also told TT to carry forward the refunds thinking I would request them all with my 2016 filing. Federal paid me 2013 and carried 2014 and 2015 forward. State paid me all three refunds in 2017. I now realize that Turbotax added the state refunds to line 10 of 1040 each year and in fact applied them cumulatively. Consequently, in 2016 TT, the State and Local Tax Worksheet has imported a refund amount that is the sum of the three (2013,2014,2015) state refunds I received in 2017. Although I believe you can deduct state taxes on Schedule A each year, I dont believe I should be taking these refunds as income each year. They should be applied to my 2017 return. How can I edit the imported data to correct this so I can amend my 2014 and 2015 taxes and complete 2016 accurately? Is there somewhere to indicate I paid tax but didnt receive the refund until a particular future year?
