When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.   Each return needs its own account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596

When you enter investment sales or exchanges from Form 1099-B or 1099-S, TurboTax will automatically fill out Form 8949 Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets and transfer the info to Schedule D.

Lines 1, 3, and 14 will be your nondeductible contribution for 2023: $6,500 assuming you didn't have a basis from prior years. Lines 4 to 13 will be blank if you didn't take a distribution or made a conversion.       Note, you can amend your return to create Form 8606 for you. Please see How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year?   @ambatput 

Earnings are the taxable distribution plus recapture of any previous amounts claimed. NY states you must file a nonresident return if: You are a nonresident with New York source income and your New York adjusted gross income Federal amount column (Form IT-203, line 31) exceeds your New York standard deduction. Your earnings may be less than the standard deduction so you have no taxable income.   I was glad to see  2024 update to NY 529 plan. It is better and page 86 states: B. Penalties and Fees: I understand and agree that if I make a Federal Nonqualified Withdrawal, I may be subject to the Federal Penalty on the earnings portion of that withdrawal and that the Federal Penalty will be payable in addition to, and along with, my federal income tax for the year of the Federal Nonqualified Withdrawal. I understand and agree that if I make a New York Nonqualified Withdrawal, I may be subject to the recapture of any New York State tax benefits that had accrued on contributions to my Account. In addition, I understand and agree that I may be subject to other fees, charges, or penalties in the future, as described in the Disclosure Booklet.    I understand that a full or partial rollover of my Account to a non-New York Qualified Tuition Program or a full or partial rollover of my Account to a Qualified ABLE Program that does not meet the requirements of an ABLE Rollover Distribution would be subject to New York State taxes on earnings as well as the recapture of all previous New York State tax deductions taken for contributions to the Account.

I reviewed your file and everything was reported correctly. If you didn't report the capital gains for the sale this year, you would have received a refund but almost $80K in capital gains does make a difference.   I checked your foreign tax credit entry and you correctly reported the gross amount of the sale and the foreign taxes paid. You received a foreign tax credit for more that $8K, and you were able to claim all of this credit on your federal tax return.   The difference between your tax owed between the federal and state return is the fact the Foreign Tax Credit does reduce tax liability on the federal return only and not the state.  Just remember, you owe taxes this year primarily because of your condo sale in the Philippines.
