@alyssaaresvik96  asked:  "I still have not received my state refund it says ready to mail I have never received it that way it always goes into my account. I don’t know what is going on need help"   "it says ready to mail"      What is the "it?"  Are you saying that the Tax Home in your Online TurboTax says "ready to mail?"  Or did  your state's refund tool have that message?   For this answer, I'll assume that's what you are seeing in Online TurboTax.   If you are referring to your state's refund lookup tool, the answer would be different.   If your Tax Home in Online TurboTax says your state return is "ready to mail", that means it has not been efiled in that account.  That would mean that for some reason TurboTax thinks you planned to mail it.  If you did NOT actually mail it, then you can change the filing method and submit the efile.   You can open the interview back up and go through the FILE section again, choose to efile, verify you chose to receive your refund by direct deposit, if desired, then proceed to the very end to submit your state return.  You should eventually get to a screen with a big orange button "Transmit My Returns Now" to click.   When you log in and go the Tax Home, your return interview will be closed.  To re-open it so you can get back in, look for a link "Add a State."   That doesn't really add one, but will reopen the interview.   When you are back in the interview, I would run the State Review again, just in case there have been any updates which affect your state return.   Then go to the FILE section and proceed as I mentioned above.

@DaveF1006 Step 3 mentions "On Line 1 (Ordinary Income), enter the total amount you need to "add back" as a positive number." Is this total amount to be added back is just the IDC, or IDC minus Ordinary Business Loss from Box 1 ( reported on k-1 as negative number) but here I think it should be subtracted as positive quantity ( otherwise, it becomes an addition, which will increase the tax instead of reducing it due to ordinary business loss)? Thanks.

I have run into the same problem. Went around twice on this issue. Second time I entered random info for name and did not enter any other details. At the end I was able to use the trashcan to delete the canadian retirement plan. Have not yet finished my return, so hopefully I will not have issues with the review process like other users have noted. This has apparently been reported since back in February and here we are in April and the error still exists and I just did another update today. Based on this and more issues showing up in TurboTax in recent years, maybe it is time to try tax software from a different company.
