@Opus 17Thank you for both of your replies. My interest and penalty will not be small (at least to me) and I get very few breaks from the IRS. I think I will complete and mail the return myself otherwise I won't be able to verify that I was ready to file when they were not and I will avoid the mess that Turbo Tax has made of my returns this year.
"If you file each of the part-year state tax returns correctly, neither state should assess a penalty, and if they do, you will have good cause to appeal."
Of course. And there is no over-payment. Again, this is all Turbo Tax filling out the forms inaccurately, not me.
Thank you everyone again for your replies to my question, I consider this matter closed for me and will no longer be monitoring or replying.
