This does work but I don't like that I am entering information in my tax return that is not technically correct. I didn't not have any state taxes paid in 2025 for an earlier year. If I get audited but the IRS, for example, I guess I will defend what I did by stating that this is the only way for me to enter the tax credits as state taxes paid using Turbotax.
Turbotax needs to be updated to be able to include state tax credits as income taxes paid that year that doesn't move to the state as current year tax withholding.
