Assuming that you are filing a resident tax return Form 502, and "prior year tax" refers to the total Maryland personal income tax you were charged last year, then the amount that you want to enter into this field will be the 2024 Maryland 502 Line 34. Total Maryland and local tax. You can download your prior-year tax form, then print to PDF to view and locate this item using these FAQ steps: If you've started your return already Sign in to your TurboTax account. Make sure you're using the same TurboTax account (same user ID) as in previous years.   There are two ways to get your prior-year returns: Select Documents from the menu, use the dropdown menu to choose the tax year you want, and select Download tax PDF. On Tax home, scroll down and select Your tax returns & documents. Select the year you want and select Download/print return (PDF). If the year you're looking for isn't there, it might be in a different account. Go here to find all of your accounts. One of them should have the return you're looking for.

In your message you said you were having the same problem with transmitting your return.  Our issue was that we could not file partnership returns with the State of Georgia.  It turned out that the State of Georgia was not accepting business tax returns until Feb 26.  So are you trying to file a partnership return with the State of Georgia?  Form 700?  If so have lunch and take a nap,  It worked for me.  That is we had to wait until the State of Georgia started to accept business returns.   Now if you are trying to transmit some other return, our solution is no help to you.   My guess is you are trying to transmit your personal (form 1040) and a state return.  Some general guidance is to transmit your federal return separate from your state return.  Transmit your federal return first.  by selecting the state return as I will file later.  If that works you know your federal return has no problems.  Then file the state return. If you have problems rerun the error checking program again.  Look at your data and see if you have any errors such as extra spaces like after your middle initial.  look for blank spaces that should have zeros like where you have added a title or description but no related value.  There is a whole lot more items that could be wrong.  If these hints don't work  submit your question again  as a new issue and give as much information as possable.   

I am on the most current version of TurboTax Home & Business. Yes there is a feature that provides a FMV. However, each Donation line item is restricted to one type of clothing or household item. This is no way as flexible as what's in H&R Block, which is more similar to what we did in It's Deductible. Only difference is you can not pre-enter you donations throughout the year as we did in ID.   I am still not sure how we can import donations from some other 3rd party Charitable Contributions software.   Quite frankly this new FMV feature is a pain in the a$$.

Entering a large "Windfall" amount in the SSA-1099 box can cause a "limit error" in TurboTax. To avoid this and stay treaty-compliant:   Don't combine them into one entry: Enter your U.S. SSA-1099 as its own item, which includes the lump-sum payment from the WEP.  Add a second "Social Security" entry: In the Social Security section, click "Add another SSA-1099." For the Payer Name, enter "Service Canada - CPP/OAS."  Put the total amounts from the CPP/OAS in Box 5 of this form. If you still encounter the error, you may wish to enter the WEP lump-sum into the second SSA-1099 to see if this works. In fact, let us know if this is successful.
