State tax filing

Dear AnnetteB6,

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, I’m still running into issues.

I was able to remove the Maryland return using the menu option File > Remove State Return, and initially, it appeared to work:

  1. On the “Your State Returns” page, only California is listed—Maryland is no longer shown.

  2. In the Forms view (accessed from the top right corner), the Maryland forms are gone, and only the federal and California forms remain.

However, during the “Review” stage, I hit a strange problem. After the message “Nicely done! Just 3 things to go” appears, Step 1 is to “Save your amended returns.” Once I do that and generate the PDF:

  • The PDF only includes the Maryland return

  • The amended California return is missing

This suggests that removing Maryland earlier somehow affected the structure of the amended return.

Oddly enough, things seem to display correctly if I skip the Review stage entirely and go straight to the File stage, where only the federal and California returns appear to be included.

Could you please advise on how to proceed?

  • Is there a way to fix the error during the Review stage?

  • Or is it safe to skip the Review stage and go straight to File, as long as I carefully review the final PDF and confirm the correct forms are included?

Thanks so much for your help!  I am using the Turbotax Deluxe Windows version.
