State tax filing

Thanks Roger -- OK, I have submitted the sanitized version of the return. The token number is

120955177-59063901

I might have found another clue. I regenerated the state return and this time I printed ALL the various forms and worksheets, not just the default.

The $1976 comes from "SC Worksheet A" for State Tax Addback (it's what I had included in earlier posts).

But then, the $1978 is coming from "Smart Worksheets" which is characterized as addback from the OBBB (which SC did not adopt all the provisions). I believe I have seen other posts expressing confusion about this addback, often in the amount of $750 for single filers (std deduction $15000 --> $15750) or $1500 (std deduction $30000 --> $31500). I believe for my case, this is probably still double-counting the tax addback (i.e. including the same addback obligation via two different avenues) but I will dig into these aspects a little bit more.

Thanks again for all the help
