My state taxes will be an important factor in my tax liability for TY2019, and I have some options for how to affect that situation until the end of this month. I bought turbotax so that I could do my taxes now, and then figure out how certain choices regarding selling/buying stocks would change how much tax I owe.
When the software tried to download the info for my state, it reported that the data required wouldn't be available until january. Of course, nothing I do after january (except IRA I guess) can change my tax situation, so this is less than helpful.
Is this availability date accurate? Is there a pre-release or something like that? Is my only other option to work on my state taxes by hand? If I do that I'm afraid I'll make a mistake and get the wrong impression of what I'll owe for 2019.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
