I now live in WA and have been using Turbo Tax for many years. For 22,23 and 24, I worked for two CA employers. I am a W2 employee for one of them and a 1099 contractor for the other. Is TurboTax smart enough to not have reported my W2 income on my CA tax returns for those years? Or do I need to amend my CA taxes for those years and hopefully get a refund?

I don't understand. The difference is box 18 and 19. So I don't understand how to file this under the same w2. I can't file it twice because then it'll look like I made more than what I actually did. 

Go to FILE > New Tax Return.  Click on STATE and download Idaho.  Close TurboTax.  Re-open TurboTax and select the file where you received the 190 error.  See if this resolves your issue.   @scjtax

I verified the numbers and resubmitted but got the same result. Is it possible because of last years issue that the info isn't in the system? I can mail this in but how do i fix going forward? thanks   EDIT NOTE 3/17/2026 at 6:58 PM Pacific. Scroll down and see my comment which follows this one first.   You should NOT have to mail.  This can probably be fixed so you can efile.   Try using a 2024 AGI of 0 (zero) for the spouse.   If that doesn't work, report back again, and post the rejection error code or message, and we may have another suggestion.

THX for the number. Will call them.   At the very bottom of the notice it says in a small font:  Internal Use Only  18F.  Initial seasrch I made seems to be that another division which deals with making the returns easier to file may have got in the mix but I need to reesearch further.   THX

Thanks RobertB4444. I could find the place where to annualize. However, it needs a lot of info in addition to annualizing the income and some times it is hard to get, specially the taxes, QBI, itemized deductions etc. While i could manage the rest, I am stuck with annualizing itemized deductions. On the form Schedule A Itemized deductions i see some numbers and i am not sure where they come from. Here are some where i am having an issue understanding the calculation: Section: Taxes you Paid Line 5a- State and Local taxes - it shows a number which is more than the state tax i paid but there may be other things hidden there. How is this number calculated? Line 5b - State and local real estate taxes- this is my property tax Line 5c- State and local personal property taxes. I am not sure where this number comes from. I have not entered any property tax on my cars yet.   Would appreciate if you can help me decipher these numbers. thanks again,    

It may take a couple of months before the IRS issues your refund--or maybe less.   It can take up to nine weeks after verifying identity to get a refund.   TurboTax gets no information from the IRS after you file your tax return.  Only the IRS can give you any information.   You can watch the IRS refund site to see what it shown there.   You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2025 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:    https://www.irs.gov/refunds  

Yes, as DoninGA mentioned, if the form has no income you can delete it.  Here are the steps to delete your Form 1099-MISC:   Open your return. Go to Tax Home Select Tax Tools in the left menu Click on Tools A pop-up will come out called Tool Center Select Delete a form Select Delete next to the Form 1099-MISC that you want to delete   If you are using TurboTax Online, please follow the instructions in this TurboTax Help article to delete a form.   If you are using TurboTax Desktop, please follow the instructions in this TurboTax Help article to delete a form. @cbbenson
