No, you need to file for a credit on the double taxed income. Your resident state does tax all income. Great job in getting the order right! First, prepare your non-resident MA return. This creates your tax liability for the non-resident state. How do I file a nonresident state return? Then prepare your resident state NJ return and it will generate a credit for your income already being taxed in the non-resident state. The credit will be the lower of the state tax liabilities on the same gross income. You may owe your resident state,  if they have a higher tax rate along with differences in how the taxable income is calculated. Look for the NJ- COJ form in your NJ tax return.   To print or view  your forms, including all worksheets: In desktop, switch to Forms Mode.  For online: On the left side, select  Tax Tools Select Print center Select Print, save or preview this year's return If you have not paid, select pay now.

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:   TurboTax Online:   Sign into your online account. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.” This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us. Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.   TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:   Open your return. Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” * This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created.  Click on OK and the tax file will be sanitized and transmitted to us. Please provide the Token Number  (including the dash) that was generated in the response.   *(If using a MAC, go to the menu at the top of the screen, select Help, then, “Send Tax File to Agent”)  @pfgold 

The reason that you have to reactivate is because another instance of TurboTax is running on the computer.  When it updates it thinks it's already running.     It does go back to the beginning pages when it restarts.  It doesn't really save where you're at.   The Resetting screen size and position, however, sounds like the settings on your system and not the TurboTax program.

Form 8801 is the form you need. Form 8801 (Credit for Prior Year Minimum Tax) allows individuals, estates, and trusts to claim a tax credit for Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) paid in previous years and to calculate any carryforward to future years.    To see if the Form exists in TurboTax online:   Select Tax Tools Tools Delete  Form Look for Form 8801. Don't delete it but verify that it is in your list of forms.

I believe you mean you made the changes to your federal return so it reflects what was reported on the original return. If so, you still may need to go through the state return and answer any pertinent questions until you get that return back to it's original state. Then you can do the amended return routine.

If you've already paid for your TurboTax Online, go back to the 'Deductions' Topics listing, and scroll down to 'Health Insurance Marketplace 1095-A' and choose Add/Edit.   The next page should be 'Form 1095-A Summary'.  Click the Trash Can icon on the right to delete. Then clear your Cache and Cookies and try filing again.   @SFV     

I don’t have any negative amounts in Part 3.  Like I said, I did an online chat with another TurboTax expert and she couldn’t figure out the issue.  Is there an issue with this form on TurboTax to where it’s not completely filling out Part 1 of the form.

No, the standard deduction does not include the additional amount.  This additional amount is reported on Form 1040 Line 13b.     One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act: Tax deductions for working Americans and seniors
