Where are you trying to enter your state? If you're talking about box 15 on your W-2, your state is not listed if it does not have any state income tax. In that case, leave boxes 15, 16, and 17 empty in TurboTax. If box 17 is zero, do not enter the zero.  

You may be missing or even double counting a book/tax adjustment on your Schedule M-1. A book/tax adjustment is and income or expense item that's treated differently on your financial statements and your tax return.   Examples of book/tax adjustments include: - nondeductible expenses (such as meals & entertainment, or fines & penalties) - differences in depreciation - nontaxable income such as municipal bond interest   Check your Schedule M-1 Smart Worksheet to review your adjustments and update accordingly.

to avoid penalties and interest, go to  IRS.gov make-a-payment page and pay at least 80% of amount you owe. select reason for payment: EXTENSION. final amount you owe will be that much less.   @dnldonner00
