State tax filing

Your only proof that you paid your tax due to the state is your own bank/credit card records.  TurboTax never knows how, when or even if you paid your state tax.  Sometimes users misunderstand and think that their federal refund was used to pay the state.  The state can not be paid from a federal refund when you file your tax return.  If the debt is old enough, it is possible that the IRS would SEIZE a federal refund for an old state debt.

 

Do you know how to access your 2017 return?  Print out a copy for yourself and have it ready when you start making calls about this.

You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

 

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

TurboTax does not receive any information from the IRS or your state after your return was filed, so no one at TurboTax knows about a letter you received from the IRS or the state.
