Thanks @AmyC for the example. Let's say that I had a loss for Oregon from last year that I wanted to carryforward to this year. Where do I enter the carryforward loss from last year into TurboTax for Oregon during the TurboTax interview (or into a form)?

is the $5600 show up as a refund in the amended return? if you got or will get it then you would owe the $3K. check your refund status at the IRS website. You may want to try calling the iRS to stop the $5600 refund. However, newspaper articles have stated taxapayers are finding it more difficult to get through to an agent

@MarilynG1 This is different thread but related to the same topic you commented on earlier. I'm pretty sure it does apply to this situation and the one from your former comment. When you say "try using State SH in your federal entry" what exactly do you mean? Are you saying there is place in turbo tax when entering charitable tax deductions that I can mark a safe harbor election? I couldn't find that but I'll check again. Any other guidance you could provide would be helpful.

Update: After 72 hours the federal return was finally accepted. Give it time. I think they are dealing with high volume!

You should amend your return (if you already filed) to remove any child's w-2. If your child(ren) have their own w-2s, they report those on their own tax returns.
If you have not filed your return, search for W-2 and use the jump to w-2 link to get back to your W-2 summary where you can remove his w-2 from your return. If your return was already filed and accepted, see this TurboTax FAQ for amending instructions.

When using TurboTax, the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion causes issues for me every year. It completely messed up my return this year and now I'm doing amendments. If it doesn't end up changing I'm just going to have to go to a CPA from now on. It's creating more of a dead ache than anything. If you meet the below information, then you don't have to meet the normal abode or physical requirements to exclude the income you earned while there. IR-2018-173, August 24, 2018 Certain U.S. citizens or resident aliens, specifically contractors or employees of contractors supporting the U.S. Armed Forces in designated combat zones, may now qualify for the foreign earned income exclusion. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, enacted in February, changed the tax home requirement for eligible taxpayers, enabling them to claim the foreign earned income exclusion even if their “abode” is in the United States. The new law applies for tax year 2018 and subsequent years. This means that these taxpayers, if eligible, will be able to claim the foreign earned income exclusion on their income tax return for 2018 when they file. Under the exclusion, taxpayers can choose to exclude their foreign earned income from gross income, up to a certain dollar amount.
