When filing as a nonresident or part-year resident in Louisiana, you use the Nonresident and Part-Year Resident (NPR) Worksheet to determine how much of your federal income is actually taxable by the state.  Go through the Louisiana return, from the Revisit Your Louisiana Info look for Income Allocation under General Info.  Click revisit and the next is Louisiana Income Allocation.

No, that history screen will not affect the kiddie tax calculations for this year. You will enter relevant information in the other return and the program will calculate using current tax rates. The child will pay your tax rate on unearned income over $2,700. Since you are not adding the income to your return, it will not raise your income or tax- as the parent.

 If your dependent is entered correctly and your amount of income from working is an amount that makes you eligible for EIC, the earned income credit is added automatically to line 27 of your Form 1040.   You do not need to "override" anything to get EIC if you are eligible.      Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number.    Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment.  If your child was born in 2025 make sure you said he lived with you the whole year.  There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support.  Say NO to that question.   If your dependent was a full-time college student, make sure you were careful on the MY INFO screen for “Uncommon situations” and that you indicated there that they were a student.   And for the Earned Income Credit—-   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-credits-deductions/qualifications-earned-income-credit-eic-eitc/L7w4BFP32_US_en_US?uid=m62rmz09   https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/use-the-eitc-assistant   https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p596.pdf   Look at your 2025 Form 1040 to see the child-related credits you received   PREVIEW 1040 https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/preview-turbotax-online-return-filing/L77WCkvnu_US_en_US?uid=m681fkhr   Child Tax Credit line 19 Credit for Other Dependents line 19 Earned Income Credit line 27 Additional Child Tax Credit line 28     @user17702503317

What can I do?   Not much. You can try contacting Support to see if they can help but the online versions only allow one return per purchase, not unlimited like the desktop versions with 5 free federal e-files.

If your return was accepted, and you added information afterwards, it was not transmitted to the IRS. You'll need to prepare an amended return, which is not yet available. Use this tool to check availability of forms, including the amended federal tax return, Form1040X: Tax form availability   Here is some more information on filing amendments: How to File an Amended Tax Return with the IRS  

 You will be able to access the 2024 return you started by using the exact same account and user ID that you used when you started it.   But you can no longer use online software for any further changes.       Start a 2025  return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.   Online tax preparation and e-filing for 2024  returns is now permanently closed.    Now it is too late to use online software or to e-file. If you have any changes/corrections at all to make to your 2024 return, you now have to complete it using desktop software, which you must download to a full PC or Mac  (not to a mobile device).Then you need to print, sign and mail it.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/printers-printing/finish-prior-year-return-started-turbotax-online/L9Oe4M90A_US_en_US?uid=m68tffpe   If you already paid for your online software you can ask customer support for a download of the desktop software.   They are available from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time Monday - Friday   https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899263-what-is-the-turbotax-phone-number     If you are getting a refund, there is no penalty for filing late.  If you owe tax due, then file and pay the amount due as shown on the Form 1040, but expect a bill later from the IRS for the penalty and interest you will owe.  Only the IRS will calculate this—TurboTax will not calculate it.     When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s.  Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.   Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses.  Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.    

You only need to enter health insurance information if you had coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. If you did, you should receive Form 1095-A and must enter it on your tax return.   The software will ask a few questions about your health care coverage after you finish entering your deductions and credits in TurboTax.   See the articles below for more information:   Do I need to enter my 1095-B and 1095-C? What health insurance info do I need to put on my tax return?  

TT was adding all 3 together.  So TT recognized the mortgage amount as $982K (2 homes instead of 1) and limited my home loan interest deduction, because $982K is greater than $750K instead of allowing me to put somewhere in the system that I had sold the first home.  Zeroing out the 1098 forces TT to not include the home that was sold therefore putting me under $750K and allows me to deduct the interest for all 3 loans.
