I think what you mean is you filed your Kentucky tax return and then called the Department of Revenue and they told you you owe less tax, based on the return that you filed, than what shows on your tax return. If so, they should mail a letter explaining why. It is often because you paid in more tax than what you listed on your tax return. You will have to wait to see what the discrepancy is before you can trouble shoot your state return in TurboTax. Also, if you agree with the changes, you do not have to correct your return that you filed.    

Here is what I suggest doing to alleviate this issue. First go to the deductions and credits> medical> Affordable Care Act portion of your return. If there is a 1095-A listed in the summary, delete it by selecting the trash can icon.   Now go to:    tax tools>tools>delete a form  Look for Form 8962. If it is there, delete it. If using the software, go to the forms mode and delete it from there. After doing this, close your return to save the change. Now go back to the deductions and credits> medical> Affordable Care Act portion of your return. It should ask a question if you had marketplace insurance or if you have 1095-A to report, say no. You now know your issue has been resolved.      

You will find this in the file section after you answer all the federal questions regarding your refund and such. You will come to a section that says we see such and such is eligible for a Trump account.

NO that advice was wrong.  You do not need to amend your return or amend his return.  Your return is right and done.  Open his return.    On his return, Go to Personal Info Click Edit by his name Continue to the 3rd screen and check the box

I called into turbotax support. They had a web session with me and were unable to find the root cause. They said it doesn't look like a turbotax issue but probably something on the minnesota state side that was triggering this. I'm not sure why this happened all of a sudden this year for the first time. I've been filing my taxes with turbotax for many years and have never run into this. My tax situation hasn't changed recently either. Unfortunately, I had to give up and manually mail my state tax return in at the post office. Hopefully next year I'll be able to e-file or find out why I can't. It would be great if turbotax could build in some better diagnostics to alert the user to the root cause in the future. Thank you!

There are filing errors and review errors. If it is preventing you from moving to FILE and actually filing your return then you need to enter your state and zip code in that section. The IRS looks at the college name, foreign checkbox and amount. @jbc624 

If TurboTax is stuck at the final step, try these steps:   Clear cache and cookies  Log out of TurboTax, restart your device, and log and back in Use a different browser (e.g., switch from Chrome to Edge). Try a different time of day when there may be lower "traffic" When we approach the filing deadline, there is higher server traffic, which can significantly impact the tax filing process by causing system slowdowns, application errors, and potential delays in submission for both individuals and tax professionals.
