Yes, as long as you have not filed, go back to the My Info or Personal Information section.   Select edit next to each dependent and go back through the questions.   You can also delete the dependents and re-add them.   Sometimes it is easier just to re-add them and start the questions fresh.   Add Remove Dep

Guess I'm replying to myself but since I'm non resident of Iowa my "Iowa source" income and dividends are zero (in order for the non-resident credit to work properly) so it really doesn't ask me much about the income.  I do properly break the muni-bonds dividends up into multi-state and iowa back in the federal/main input section.  I do appreciate the help as I have been spent 4 hours on phone this week with tax experts and sent in two diagnostics files and TTax can recreate the problem, just can't seem to fix the bug.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.     https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/many-intuit-accounts-turbotax/L9aVfKS1Z_US_en_US?uid=ll5g6zcx Account Recovery

No.  A Workers' Compensation Medicare Set-Aside (WCMSA or MSA) account is a dedicated, interest-bearing account containing funds from a workers' compensation settlement, specifically reserved to pay for future injury-related medical expenses that would otherwise be covered by Medicare.  It is not an HSA.

are you referring to the list of 1099s since the redesign, if you click update on either line in the Interest and Dividends section it will show the long list of all your 1099s, ordered by Payer not the 1099 type.  It used to be separate views for either interest or dividends.  At the very bottom (ugh! - scroll, scroll) is the button for Add Investments which takes you to the import list, if you skip that you get the buttons to input different types of income.   It's super annoying workflow since they changed this last year.  For INT and DIV I use Forms mode and you can see totals on Schedule B but you may still have to do a pass thru them in EasyStep to clear any in "needs review" status.

Both forms are considered informational, not mandatory.   The 529 was used for qualified education expenses which can include room and board,  even off campus, Since the 1099-Q was not income, it should not be entered. Tuck the 1099-Q into your tax folder. IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education states that nontaxable distributions should not be entered. The 1098-T with the qualified education expenses of $4,000 or more can qualify you for an education credit. If you qualify, enter the 1098-T to claim the credit.  Currently: For the full credit, your MAGI (modified adjusted gross income) is less than $80,000 ($160,000 if you're filing jointly) For a reduced credit, your MAGI is between $80,000 and $90,000 ($160,000 and $180,000 if you're filing jointly) There is no credit given if your MAGI is above $90,000 ($180,000 if you’re filing jointly)

This error is related to the Minnesota Working Family Credit and the Child Tax Credit. You should go back to the section in TurboTax and go through it to double check the entries.  Make any changes if needed, but if everything is correct, run through the state filing steps and resubmit.  Please post again if it is rejected again.    

This seemed like a good idea but no workie... I already have my 1099-INT with just the Box 1 (Taxable Interest) and Box 3 (U.S. Treasury) amounts ONLY (as you suggested). My muni bond interest is over on 1099-Div in box 12 so it is already separate. To test, I first whacked the muni-bond dividends from that 1099-Div and as expected, the correct T-bill interest showed up in Schedule 1 line 1 column B as expected and correct. I then created a new 1099-Div with just the munibond dividends and we went right back to getting a net amount munibonds - Tbills in column A (since munis amount slightly greater than Tbills). I'm also a little squeamish on tricking the code as my resident MN return handles munibonds and Tbill correctly. I don't want to trick Iowa and end up with a MN problem. I'm not sure if your comments on state interview. Why don't we just fix the code in the Iowa return to eliminate the net math calculations it is apparently doing and just put the numbers in the correct columns they way Iowa devised the form? The MN return seems to handle the same basic calcs (add back munibonds minus US Govt interest) I'm (reluctantly) using Premium on-line as was forced over with a windows 10 system.
