Sorry, I posted the Online steps above when in actuality you are using desktop TurboTax.  I realize you no longer need the steps anyway since you used Forms Mode, but for others, or for your curiosity, here's the method in step-by-step interview mode in the desktop product.   As I mentioned above, it's done on the Federal side of the program, but be sure it carries over to appear on your state return, and then run the State Review again to be sure all is well.   Federal tab (it's the PERSONAL tab in Home and Business). Subtab Deductions & Credits. "I'll choose what I work on" Your 2024 Deductions & Credits page. Scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid. Find subtopic Other Income Taxes and click Start or Update. On the Other income taxes screen scroll down to category 2023 Refund Applied to 2024. Find the subtopic for type of applied overpayment (Federal, state, or local) and click Start or Update.

If you haven't done so, you should start by talking to the folks at TurboTax Support.  They should be able to bring up your account and review your products and fees to see what is going on.   This is a public user community forum--not a direct route to TurboTax Support--and nothing account-specific can be handled here in the forum.  When you phone, if the automated voice asks for your issue to route your call, try "billing issue" or "billing."   Support hours are 5AM-9PM Pacific, every day this time of year.

Thank you. Yeah, I did the MO part first. But got to the end of the MO return and it gave me the error that remote work wages could not exceed MO sourced wages. Like it wasn't programmed to be able to handle that situation where the W-2 is broken out into MO and IL where the employer kept track of MO vs IL time and withheld taxes for the proper state throughout the year depending on how much time I worked out of each state AND wages attributable to working in IL exceed those from working in MO. 

Intuit is lying.   The updated 2024 Form 8283 instructions have an extremely clear allowance for e-Filing this form when a signature is required:   "If you are electronically filing your tax return, you must include the Form 8283 data in the electronic submission. Enter all information requested by a line of the Form 8283 on the electronic Form 8283, except for the required signatures. You must attach the completed Form 8283 with all the required signatures to your tax return, either as a PDF attachment when electronically filed, or mailed to the IRS with Form 8453."   The 8453 route is exactly what I used the last time I needed to send in a signed version of this form.  And even assuming Intuit can't be bothered to implement the functionality to attach a PDF, the allowance for mailing just the signed form and e-Filing the rest has not changed.   It's too much of a pain to go elsewhere for this year, but if Intuit is going to be this poor, I'll go elsewhere for next year.
