TurboTax is just showing you the net between the state tax due and the federal refund.   Check here for instructions on how to file your state return after you already filed your federal return.    

Does the Form 1099-DIV have numbers in it or is it a blank one that was carried forward from a prior year? Did you import your Forms 1099-DIV? Did you try deleting it in "Forms Mode" if you have TurboTax Desktop?   To switch to "Forms Mode" you can click on Forms in the upper-right of your TurboTax screen. Then scroll down your left panel to the Form 1099-DIV and click on it. It will show in your right panel. Near the bottom left of the form there is a Delete button. When you press this you will get a pop-up box to confirm the deletion.

You can Transfer the prior year from the Desktop program into the current Online versions.  You need to have the file ending in .tax2023 on your computer.  So be sure you know where it is.  But if you already started an online return you will have to clear it out and start over or set up a new online account.  How to clear and start over https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-clear-and-start-over-in-turbotax-online/00/26444     How to transfer into Turbo Tax Online, including from a pdf file or other software or from the Desktop program https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/entering-importing/help/how-do-i-transfer-last-year-s-return-into-turbotax-online/00/25953

I have a questions regarding wages.  What if you have wages that your employer claimed they paid you on your W2, but you have documentation and records showing that you never received those wages, and they were never issued to you.  Is there any way to report those wages as being unlawfully with held by your employer?

So when I had just the 1095-A's as health insurance, it correctly calculated SEHI and put it on Schedule 1.  But we also have dental and other non ACA insurance, and when I added that on the SE screens, 7206 came back, again wrong and not matching Schedule 1.  So I deleted the entry from the health insurance screen and will just add it to our medical expenses.   That should produce a correct Schedule 1, and I will make sure that Schedule A includes only the health insurance premiums that were NOT deducted as SEHI.  I shouldn't have to do this manually, but maybe I'm falling in some sort of strange corner case.    Still no 8962 being generated, but then I really don't expect one.      

Just to clarify, should I answer then yes to this question for a roth in-plan conversion of after tax contributions?   "Did you move this money from a 401(k) to a Roth 401(k)?"   If so, is it fine that answering yes to this removes the ROLLOVER keyword from my return?

Thank you   I have 30 small transactions, though, so starting over and entering manually will be my last resort.   But you mentioned "clearing the errors" ... is there actually a way to do this in TT/Mac?   The only way I've found to do anything is via the awkward checkbox+bulk edit, and nothing I do there seems to affect the red "NEEDS REVIEW" labels.  And there's no indication anywhere that anything is actually wrong, or what specifically might need review.

You are correct.   You may not file a MA married filing joint tax return.   Massachusetts Department of Revenue states:   Please note that a joint return is not allowed if both you and your spouse were not Massachusetts residents for the same portion of 2024.   You may still file a married filing joint IRS form 1040 tax return but you will still have to to prepare multiple tax returns to prepare the married filing separately tax returns to Massachusetts.
