@sandnan I’m not sure if you are using the online TurboTax system for your return, OR if you have the program loaded on your PC (via CD or downloaded). I’m told for some things, there could be a difference.
I have the CD/download version software loaded on my PC.
When I initially logged into software and opened my return, I believe it took me to screen to check status of returns where it checked status and the came back with my CA state tax rejected, and had a box to mouse click to repair. It then showed a text instruction on screen indicating this was a software issue and there could be additional deductions in the “I believe added Deductions Section”. It instructed me to go to Federal Tax to check this, and I went thru that section not adding anything different. Program then took me to review Federal return which was fine, then did CA state return check, which was fine, then thru to efiling again. Initially it seemed like it may refill all returns, but program realized Federal and my 2nd state were already filed/accepted and only went thru the CA to efile again. Was easy enough as everything was still pre-filled and I simply checked and mouse clicked thru until sent again.
If you see the instruction in text, take a picture with your phone before heading to Federal to check whatever it wants checked. I did not do this so had to trust what I read and was unable to double-check instruction.
Hard to remember everything, but I’m pretty certain this is how it played out for me.
If program is loaded on your PC, it may need to do a software update first, if not prompted - check program pull downs or such and I assume a SW Check can be initiated.
Not sure where you’re at in New York. I was based out of Plattsburgh 1986 to 1994 before the base closed. Loved the area.
Good luck, MAC
