Did she physically work in Alabama?     Yes, she will need to file a AZ return since she physically worked in AZ If she did NOT work physically in AL, then she will need to file a return to claim any taxes, if any, she had withheld back.  To do this, you will include only the taxes withheld and adjust the income to $0   If she DID work physically in AL, then you will include the wages she earned in AL.  Since it is combined, when it comes to the AL adjustment income question, you will need to deduct the amount that was for AZ.

For whatever reason the online version is forcing me to use Premium. I assume it's because last year I sold stock. I didn't sell anything this year, so I should only need Deluxe. I cannot find a way to go back to deluxe. Is there an option I'm just not seeing?

@maryesettlemyre   Worked OK for me, with Desktop Premier on a Windows computer.   About all you can do is go back to every form (in the Federal area) that has any state withholding on it, and:   1)  Edit each form to make sure you didn't double-enter any $$ amounts for state withholding. 2) if you downloaded any form twice, (like a W-2 or a 1099-R), then you may have the form entered twice, and you may need to delete the duplicate.   OR...if none of that works: 3)  Delete every form that you entered that has state withholding on it. ...3a) Check that the NC forms no longer show any state withholding .....3b) Then re-enter every form you deleted and carefully enter the data for each carefully again.  DO NOT upload a picture or PDF of any document...TONS of errors are happening if done that way........enter them manually!!!!    i.e.   <<Enter another way<<<<Type it in myself

My complaint is similar to a lot of others posted here. I have foreign dividends from 2 financial institutions and have been doing the entries over and over again to try to get something to work. I have received dividends from 6 countries total and for Japan, I have payments from both financial institutions. I have tried at least a dozen times to get something to work with the main problem being that only one financial institution will appear instead of both so I can't make a choice for what company it came from and it's always the wrong company.. I've tried putting just one country in instead of all 6 but that doesn't work either. I try starting over again and nothing ever works. At this point, I'm totally out of ideas. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Since this is a major complaint EVERY year, you would think that TT would address the issue but that just isn't the case. I'm going to try another tax preparation software next year or maybe have a professional (other than Turbo Tax) do it. Maybe if we all quit buying it, they would do something.

I have 16 acres tree farm.  I last sold trees in 2005 and had to claim the profit as income.  I replanted and now the trees are 19 years old and were hit by hurricane Helene.  I have lost about 40 trees, 70 feet high x 12" to 18" diameter.  I am trying to claim a loss on Turbo-Tax by way of farm income/loss, I have no income for 2024, so Turbo-Tax is not allowing any loss. How should I report my protentional loss for 2024, since I will not harvest these trees for another 10 years?
