All,
I called the TurboTax helpline and a patient employee helped me through the maze. We had to do some work-arounds, but it worked out fine.
One thing I discovered is that I needed to click on the Alabama menu item, rather than continue with Alabama tax return. I didn't realize there was a difference in how you got to the state return. So, the suggestion above is good.
And, if you can't figure something out in how the program works after reading all the suggestions, reach out to TT Support. I was surprised by how quickly my call was answered!
Thanks so much for the help.
