On the Step-by-Step screen "Here's the income that Colorado handles differently", at the bottom of the screen, there is Miscellaneous Additions and Miscellaneous Subtractions.   It sounds like you made a text entry in one of these areas, but did not add any dollar amount (that's what goes on line 10a). Go back and review these two areas and make sure that you have deleted any text entries in these tables.

If you have business assets that are not fully depreciated or that you sold in the current year, you do need to include them on your tax return. If they are not fully depreciated you need to set them up for depreciation since it is a legitimate business expense and it will factor into the gain on assets sold or taken out of service in the future. If you sold assets, depreciation will factor into the gain and the tax on the gain from assets sold.   If you need to set up an asset for depreciation, you just need to enter the cost of the asset and year put into service and TurboTax will calculate the accumulated depreciation from prior years and then populate the applicable depreciation for the current and future years.

THIS IS THE EXACT SAME SITUATION THAT I AM IN.  MY REFUND WAS SENT BACK TO THE IRS SUPPOSEDLY ON 3/10 AND THE IRS SAYS THEY STILL HAVENT RECIEVED IT BACK YET.  I HAVE CALLED AND CALLED ALL 3 PLACES AND I STILL HAVE NOT GOT A LETTER SAYSING THEY HAVE RECIEVED THE RETURN.  ON MY TRANSCRIPT I HAVE A CODE FOR A REFUND FREEZE AND ALSO A CODE FOR A REQUEST TO REISSUE REFUND CHECK AND IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY FOR WEEKS WITH AN AS OF DATE OF 04/06.  

Since you believe you will get a refund from North Carolina, it would be best to wait until you get the corrected W-2 to file that tax return. You can file a federal extension that is also applicable for North Carolina or complete Form D-410 for North Carolina and mail it in. You will see an option to do the federal extension online when you log into your TurboTax program.

Turbotax says all one has to do is go through the whole questionnaire process, and all will be solved. But also suggest doing a search for HSA and find ANY and all forms related to this, and if possible, manually delete any extra contribution. To me, this is  an outright flaw, and while we were able to file an amended return with IRS, we have been waiting over a year to get money back due to IRS errors, failure to address, stolen check…
