State tax filing
I filed separately in Iowa because TurboTax recommended that I file separately. After finding the error I tried both ways and separately did save me a little money.
I should have filed Iowa non-resident before Arkansas. By doing so TurboTax did not pick up my non-resident income and complete form IA 126. Why didn’t TurboTax catch my mistake of not filing Iowa first?
I talked to the Iowa IRS and they said I should file an amended Iowa return. I started to do that with TurboTax and found it will cost me $45 to do it. I will also have to file an amended Arkansas return because I will be getting more money back. Will that cost me another $45?
I looks like it will be cheaper to pay the $128 Iowa tax bill then to go to all the trouble filing amended returns. Will TurboTax wave the $45 charge because of their mistake?
