State tax filing

I do have empathy for the programmers.  Naturally I'd like to avoid paying federal and state taxes on a refund that is supposed to be tax free for both.  Probably a $100 overtax if I can't figure this out.  Not a huge amount.

 

I don't know that this matters for your testing, but I haven't finished my return yet.  Also, I don't know if you wanted me to override the field that I think includes the non-taxable refund.  Schedule 1 line 1 for example. 

 

I agree per your earlier post that the refund amount seems to originate on Federal Carryover Worksheet.  I noticed that when I try to override it on that schedule it adds a row and I have to enter a negative number to get the correct taxable refund. 

 

I don't know how TT would interpret that later on final review and/or electronic filling.

 

I also understand that it is not common problem.  I believe most taxpayers are not itemizing and I believe this problem only affects those who itemize (which I still do for '22 & '23). 

 

Thanks for your help.
