State of Hawaii N-11 Line 18 - Automatically Filled

Aloha,

 

I've recently posted an issue I was having with inputting data from a property sale in another state (Nevada) into my Federal returns. However, I think the method of which I inputted the information caused another issue in my state return.

I ended up filling that portion with 100% of my half of the cost basis, proceeds, etc. Prior Depreciation, I kept the same at $24,007. There was a section somewhere I didn't understand that I can't get back to that asked about depreciation in State of Hawaii and it said "if you don't know, just input the federal amount" but I actually placed "0" and now I can't find that menu.

 

What I would like to know is how Line 18 of the N-11 is automatically calculated because it listed $101,470 - I can't delete it or edit it. It seems to have a mind of it's own and it's deflating my total taxable income for State of Hawaii so bad, it looks like I worked at McDonalds this year.

 

Where should I begin to look for the cause of this issue or is it absolutely fine because of some back end work and the property being in a state with no income tax. Please help me understand or fill you in on what's happening so we can properly have this addressed.

 

Audit meter is right between medium and high and I'd just like it dropped to at least 50% or below.
