My 540 doesn't have a line 88. It goes from line 1 -78. Line 78 states "add line71-77. These are your total payments. See instructions". Is that the amount I need to enter in the "Total Payments and Withholdings" referenced in my original question above?

TurboTax does not support Form 502S due to the documentation requirements required by the State of Maryland.    In the mock return I completed, amounts entered for the Historical Revitalization credit correctly flow to Form 502CR. These credit amounts will be totaled with the rest of your credits and flow to your Form 502, Line 48. Entering it this way will ensure your return calculations are correct. However, since you cannot complete Form 502S in TurboTax, you will have to print and mail your return.   Please take the steps below as a workaround for Form 502S: Download Form 502S here.  Fill in the necessary information on the form and attach your certification. Attach these documents to your printed state tax return and mail to the state of Maryland.   *Maryland tax returns with payments should be mailed to:  Comptroller of Maryland, Payment Processing, PO Box 8888, Annapolis, MD 21401-8888    *For returns without payments, mail to:  Comptroller of Maryland, Revenue Administration Division, 110 Carroll Street, Annapolis, Maryland 21411-0001    

Thanks for the idea.  I went into one of my saved returns and did what you suggested.  Unfortunately, I still got the same error after deleting the forms and trying again.  I even saved the return after deleting the forms and I still received that error.  Any other ideas would be welcomed.   Thanks Friend.

I had called so many times SINCE MONDAY and no one gives me solutions or refund!!! This is horrible service. I have done everything they opened an investigation on Monday STILL NO SOLUTION after they sayd that 3 business day… is Friday. 

This error is almost always caused by the Mac’s Keychain Access or a "metadata" mismatch when uploading to a browser. Even if you didn't set a password, macOS often wraps .tax files in a layer of system encryption that TurboTax Online can't peel back, leading it to assume the file is "corrupted." Here are some things you can do.   Instead of a "Save As," use the Duplicate command, which creates a fresh file without the same system metadata hooks. Open your return in TurboTax 2024 for Mac. Go to the top menu and select File > Duplicate. A prompt may appear asking if you want to encrypt or password protect the new file. Select "No" or "Decline." Save this duplicated file to your Desktop (not a folder synced with iCloud/OneDrive). Try uploading this new duplicate to TurboTax Online. MacOS sometimes "locks" files internally to prevent changes.   Find your .tax2024 file in Finder. Right-click it and select Get Info (or press Cmd + I). In the "General" section, ensure the Locked checkbox is unchecked. At the very bottom, under "Sharing & Permissions," ensure your user account has Read & Write access. If it looks correct, toggle it to "Read Only" and then back to "Read & Write" to refresh the permissions. If TurboTax for Mac was given "Always Allow" access to your Keychain, it might be tagging the file with an invisible security certificate.   Open Keychain Access (found in Applications > Utilities). Search for "Intuit" or "TurboTax" in the search bar. Delete any certificates or passwords related to "TurboTax 2024." Restart your Mac, open the 2024 software, and save the file one last time before uploading. These are some suggestions that may alleviate this issue.

1099s (most types, including 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-B, 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC) are legally required to be sent (i.e. placed in the mail or made available electronically) by January 31st.  That's why a lot of people do their taxes the first week of February.
