State tax filing

When you put the amount in the misc. income section, your tax goes up and your refund drops.    After you enter the negative entry, the tax goes down and the refund goes up.   If you enter a positive and negative for the same amount, there will no effect on your tax return.   @jenniedk19 

 

You can check Schedule 1 to be sure no additional income/deduction is being reported.
