State tax filing

Your 1040 is your tax return

Schedule 1 is part of your tax return. 

Everyone files Form 1040 (which is your tax return) and some tax returns also include Schedule 1, which yours does. 

Wages are reported right on the 1040, but some other income is reported on Schedule A, sometimes added to other things on Schedule A and then transferred to your 1040. 

 

You have income reported that is something other than wages.

Look at your return and see what that is. 

 

To View using TurboTax Online:

Select Tax Tools on the left side-bar

Select Tools from that drop-down

Select “View Tax Summary” on the TOOLS CENTER screen

Select “Preview my 1040” which now appears on the left side-bar

 

Scroll through the return that is in progress, the first pages are the 1040 and next should be Schedule A.

Look at lines 2a and 8 on Schedule 1.

Line 2a is for reporting alimony as income.

Line 8 can be a lot of different things, maybe  a 1099-MISC  or taxable scholarship.

 

The 104PN is the Colorado Tax Return.

The Colorado return starts with the income you report on your federal return. 

This other income might need to be adjusted if it is not attributed to Colorado. 

If you did not live in Colorado and did not earn this "Other Income" from Colorado Sources, you will make an adjustment for this amount (or part of the amount) on the Colorado return.
