We cannot see your tax return, and we do not know what state you are in, so we cannot determine what the threshold is for paying tax in your state.   The most common reason for owing state tax is that you did not have enough state tax withheld from your paychecks during the year.   Double check all of the amounts you entered from tax documents such as your W-2's---look carefully at boxes 16 and 17.  Look for misplaced decimals and extra zeros.  Print a copy of 2023 and 2024 state returns and compare them side by side, line by line to spot the difference(s).  

Then you don't have to add it.  If you have a reject, refer to the TurboTax help article How do I fix e-file reject F8962-070? and select What if I wasn't covered at all in 2024 through the Marketplace for instructions to fix the reject.

You can apply for a payment plan (Form 9465) at the IRS Payment Plans and Installment Agreements website. Make sure you've filed your return before applying through their site.   Most states offer an installment payment plan as well, although the procedure varies from state to state. You can contact your state Department of Revenue for details.   The IRS does charge a user fee for setting up or reinstating an installment agreement.

Yes and No.   When you converted your home to a rental in 2023, you should set-up the rental at that time, and entered income and expenses. If you used TurboTax for tax year 2023, that rental will carry-over and you enter the income and expense for tax year 2024.    Depending which TurboTax program you have, the rental section will be under Business if using Home and Business Desktop or Self-Employed Online.  For others, it is located under    Wages & Income Rental Property and Royalties   Say "Yes" to review and select the rental from the list

When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.   Each return needs its own account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596
