State tax filing
@AmyCYou apparently didn't understand my statement. I filed both Federal and State prior to the Unemployment exclusion being updated on Turbo Tax. I have received both Federal and State refunds. I reviewed my returns on March 26th to see how the unemployment exclusion affected my returns. My Federal refund increased by $750.00 as a result of my $7105.00 Unemployment exclusion. My state refund amount decreased by $363.00 to a new refund of $105.00. I have received the $468.00 from the state of MN. Knowing that something was wrong with my State return, because I would've owed them $368.00 I contacted TurboTax. No, I did not and will not refile at this time. I spoke with both a very nice Turbo Tax Customer Service person and a Turbo Tax CPA on 4-6-21. They looked into it. This morning (4-8-21) I went back into my desktop TurboTax program and Minnesota State was updated again. My State refund is now back to $468.00. From what I could discern, when the exclusion was applied on March 26th, Turbo Tax recalculated my Social Security exclusion amount and it in fact raised my MN AGI to Approx. $47,000. (wrong) This did not impact me because I have taken no steps to file an amended while I wait to find out if MN is going to comply with the Federal Exclusion. My concern is that if people received Unemployment and were also getting Social Security benefits that their return could be incorrect with MN if they filed between March 26th and Today April 8th. Basically, has Turbo Tax sent letters to MN filers within this date range notifying them of the potential error.
