Sometimes you need to clear your cache (that is, remove these temporary files) because a full or corrupted cache can cause problems in TurboTax.  You can try these steps if you are using the online version:   Clearing your Cache and Cookies Using a different browser Opening an Incognito Window Please reach out again if your problem persists.

Thanks for clarifying Dave F, I understand now. TT is doing the calculations and picks the best deduction (itemized or standard). Understandable that there was not a lot of time to do the programming but it would be more transparent if TT would show the standard vs itemized steps as it does for the federal. This would show the tax change in Maryland made in December for what it clearly is: A subtle tax increase to those with FAGI over $200K.  All while the govenor stated that there was no tax increase in an election year. Peace. Tim  

Delete that 1095 (and  8962 if its there) you entered - go back through the 1095-A interview and answer NO - then try to e-file again.   Only 1095-As get entered, no 1095-Bs or no 1095-Cs - just keep those with your records.      Delete the 1095s and Form 8962s if applicable.   When asked if you have Form 1095-A, answer NO.     How to delete forms in TurboTax Online   How to delete forms in TurboTax Desktop   If your tax return gets rejected, but you do not have a form 1095-A, see the bottom of this TurboTax FAQ to see how you can certify your choice and e-file your return.    You should not need this, just remove all references to 1095 and 8962 and resubmit your return.

To see what is causing your return to be rejected and find out how to fix it:   Sign in to your account Select the Fix my return button Follow any “fix it” instructions to update the information causing the rejection.   What does my rejected return code mean and how do I fix it? @a1999eric79 

You can request a transcript from the IRS.    If you completed your taxes on TurboTax, you can access them through the Print Center.   How do I view, download, or print a prior-year tax return?   @dtbeaudoin

No, if your tax return was rejected, TurboTax doesn't charge to make the correction and resubmit.  However, if when you went back to your return you had to add additional forms or upgraded to a different version there might be a price increase.     If you are getting charged to resubmit, you can contact our customer service: What's the TurboTax phone number? Can I get the e-filing fee refunded if my state return got rejected?

While the response was helpful in my belief that I was correct, I still called the NC department of revenue to ensure that I would not have a penalty for misstating my income.  The NC DOR tax advisor did confirm that being a 100% Total and Permanently disabled Veteran did qualify as an exception to reporting the Student Loan Deference as income.   Thanks to the community for the response!
