i overrode the figure with the erroneous deduction and put in 2500 which is max allowed. went through checks several times and turbotax keeps wanting me to put the wrong large deduction. i already filed my federal and paid to efile the state but when i was efiling it wouldn't allow me to do it ( after i paid the fee) because of the override. so i printed the state return to planning to mail it in. when i was figuring out where to mail it, our state taxpayer access portal recommneded efiling directly on their site. i put in the numbers on the online NM PIT form and completed my return that way. btw, i am still awaiting confirmation that my state efiling fee will be refunded.
prior to giving up on turbotax for the NM state return i called turbotax support and the last guys advice was just to "consult a tax professional". huh? i was asking about them fixing the deduction as well as an error in a line 38 of the form which should equal the total of lines 33, 34 and 36 i think. i changed it to the right total but the program didn't like being overridden. like the other 2 people i asked for help he wasn't aware of any pending update to the NM return. software.
please correct this issue on the software.
