You should always complete your non-resident state first, so in your case DE. This is because you may qualify for taxes paid to another state in your resident state.   Sounds like you did PA first, so TurboTax doesn't know what your tax liability in DE is. When it is asking for your tax in each state, it is not asking for withholdings, it is asking for your calculated tax liability on your tax return.   I would delete both state returns and start the states over, starting with DE.

If you used the Employer Forms tool from TurboTax Business, you will need to use the IRS website forms and instructions for corrections. Neither TurboTax Business nor Quick Employer Forms support corrected forms at this time.   @wseanxy 

I never filed the amended, but I started working on the amended with TT Online. So when I downloaded that .tax file it brought the changes on Schedule C from the file I downloaded. I deleted the 1040X and the changes from Online were still there. Or is there a separate download I can grab of my original filed return that is untouched?

First, double check your entries to be sure that you entered the correct amounts for the state income and withholdings.  Double check the commas and decimal points as well.  If all entries are correct, then you would need to figure out if your employer did withhold taxes.    When you were working at the minimum wage job were they taking taxes out for you?  If not, then you would have had the underpayment.    

Here is a work around a community member found: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/after-you-file/discussion/workaround-for-amended-returns-where-refund-monitor-does-not-reset-to-zero-original-return-amounts/01/3404040#M763544

The application of a passive carryover loss for a California rental property is shown on the California Schedule E Worksheet under the Activity Summary Smart Worksheet. Passive carryover losses appear on Line G of that worksheet. You may wish to review this worksheet for the tax return in question to verify the loss was applied correctly.   Also check the Carryover to 2024 Smart Worksheet at the bottom of the CA Sch E Worksheet to determine if there was a passive loss carryover for tax year 2024.    If that loss wasn't carried over to the current year Sch E Worksheet, you can manually enter this on the current year worksheet (Carryovers to 2024 Smart Worksheet, Line G). This can be done in TurboTax Desktop using Forms Mode.

You and everybody else.  I remember first asking "why no Mac version" for at least 15 years - and nothing ever gets done.  I suspect that unlike the regular TT versions, the Business version doesn't have enough customers to make a Mac version profitable enough.  I've been making do with running the Windows version inside a Parallels virtual machine and that's served me well for years.  But I'm starting to be in a bind since Apple moved to an ARM based architecture, so it can't run an x86 based Windows operating system anymore.  There is a Windows-for-ARM operating system that can supposedly run x86 apps in emulation mode, but I haven't dared to try it.  Instead, I've been keeping an x86 Mac around - just to run TT Business once every year :(
