State tax filing

@vhmatthews

 

The dynamic nature of the TurboTax screens can make navigation difficult.

 

I got there this way:

 

1. "A few things before we wrap up your state taxes", click Start

2. On the next screen, enter the date you expect to file - for better or for worse, I put 04/15/2021

3. On the next screen I said that I was NOT a first time filer in MD

4. On the next screen I entered my tax for 2019 to be larger than my current tax (if I entered a smaller number I would get a different path).

5. Say no to being a Fisherman

6. The next screen is "Underpayment Exception". I answer NO

7. The next screen is "Underpayment Interest". I answer YES to reduce the penalty

8. The next screen is "Your Interest". I choose the third option: "Use annualization method"

9. The next screen asks for for your income per quarter

10. The next thing is that it tells me if my underpayment penalty changed.

 

Sadly, I am not sure that this is the same path I took the first time - but you see that the screen you were asking for is #6.

 

Good luck.
