I did itemize all of the years and received a tax benefit each year so my returns are taxable. I was able to remove the state tax refunds on the State and Local Tax worksheet and also adjust the cumulative amounts of my refunds on Schedule A. My perfect storm came from applying all my old refunds to the next year. The program carries the refund amounts forward each year but assumes each year that you are getting the refund in the following year not continuing to carry it forward for multiple years. I still think there is a bug that could be addressed that would allow a person to do what I did but I also agree that the program is probably not designed to do 4 years of old taxes in a row. Thanks so much for all those who made an effort to help.
