This is again why TT should be doing the work, so that it's done properly and isn't a guessing game as to where it goes and what the appropriate numbers are.    WHY IS IT TAKING THEM SO LONG TO FIX THIS?

The state and local sales tax deduction can be a deduction you can take if you itemize on their federal return.  TurboTax will ask you about it, if you indicated that you are itemizing and you want to deduct your state tax.     What is the State and Local Sales Tax Deduction? Which deduction should I choose, state and local income tax or sales tax?  

You need to adjust your entries in the federal w2 section. Go back and edit your w2. Understand that the federal and state governments already have a copy of your w2. You need for the program to put things in the right place.    To tell the program,  adjust your state and local entries on the w2 for you to have the right income and taxes on each state form. Your nonresident state should list the wages and tax for that state. Your resident state should have the rest of the wages and tax for that state. Your resident state automatically taxes all income so you do not want the full amount listed on your w2. Example: earn $100,000 at work in 2 states NR state $75,000, tax withheld Res state $25,000, tax withheld Adjust amounts as needed to make the program give you a correct tax return.

I have been waiting since before 2-25 to amend my return.  Last time I called the lady said it would be working today but it's not.  But I used the link to the forms pages said its ready....I don't understand what's going on.  My return has been fully processed and I got my refund already.
