Sounds like @ralphevelarry  is having a situation similar to mine.  The data in 1099-DIV is correct but TurboTax is not filling and transferring the data correctly into the NY State part of the program. I posted a similar question here: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/1099-div-tax-exempt-dividends-box-12-not-properly-transferring-to-ny-state-for-taxable-portion-it/01/3838246#M187053   

  it is likely because you are using the online edition by mistake instead of installing the desktop software you purchased. You must install the software using the license code from your Sam's Club purchase and use that desktop version to file. Online software has the toolbar in a black vertical column on the left side of the screen. Desktop software has the tools up on the top of your screen. How to Fix It: Close your browser. Install the software from the CD or download link provided by Sam's Club. Locate your 16-character license code on your receipt or in your digital confirmation email. Open the installed application on your computer to file. @blondie19_74

I have been a long time customer using the desktop version... if I have to re-type all of my info to start a tax return for 2025, I think I will switch to a different service/software.  The REMOVE PASSWORD button is not there.  I opened the file on my desktop version... no problem.  The updater ran to update the desktop software... no problem.  BUT I CAN'T REMOVE THE PASSWORD..... FRUSTRATING

I appreciate what you have tried to do.    However, this remains a TurboTax software problem with how TurboTax is computing their information.  I have no overrides in my return, I loaded my program today and there were no updates, and I have no errors.     The problem remains the same I explained.  It is a software error.  I don’t have Prizes and Awards.  As I noted in my prior note, my income is on the line 11z on the 1099-MISC worksheet.  I am a retired CPA who ran the tax organizations for 2 Fortune 500 companies.  I know how the credit should calculate and TurboTax has a software error they need to correct.   Warning for Any TurboTax filer with foreign tax credits and income from Form 1099-MISC line 11z.  TURBOTAX IS INCORRECT AND. YOU WILL OVERPAY YOUR TAX LIABILITY BECAUSE THE PROGRAM HAS A BUG THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!

@user17736357016  CA does not tax unemployment benefits but, the Federal govt does.  You should have gotten a 1099-G and regardless that the check was not cashed, it will be reported as income to you.  You could do an adjustment to the income during the federal questionaire on the 1099G and then report it next year. I though suggest for a cleaner result to report it in 2025.   Hope this was helpful.

For an Inherited IRA, the names on 8606 should be "<owner> and <your name> BENE" or Beneficiary if it fits, and your SSN. If only one IRA distribution is involved and you're willing to e-File under <your name>, TurboTax will do the job of generating the proper amounts on Form 8606 when you treat the IRA as your IRA rather than Inherited IRA. Enter Code 7 instead of Code 4 .   TurboTax can't track the basis on more than one IRA per person.   @NCLC87
