Hi! I'm trying to finish up my taxes but I keep getting sent back to a page that says "Carryover worksheet: Total withheld/pmts must be entered. We still need to know your total payments and withholdings for your 2020 CA tax return..." and I tried looking it up but I can't seem to get a proper answer. Please help. Thanks!

Because you need to obtain your 2020 CA tax payments/withholding amounts, see if you can access your 2020 return for that information. Here are the steps to follow to access your 2020 return. These steps assume you used TurboTax Online for tax year 2020. If you used the TurboTax CD/Download versions, then your 2020 return would not be saved on TurboTax servers. In such circumstances, you would need to review your own computer files to access your 2020 return.

Sign into your TurboTax account (if not already)
Click on My TurboTax (click on My Tax Timeline in the drop down menu)
Scroll down where is says "Prior Year Return(s)" click on Load My Tax Timeline
On the Tax Timeline screen, click the tax year you need
On the right side, select Download/print return (PDF) (if you just need a printout)

I got my 2020 tax return, where do I find the amount to input for the total withheld/pmts?

@lorrainay I believe you want to know where to find your total payments and refundable credits which is on line 32 of your 2020 for 1040. Also on line 25(d) you would find your federal income tax withheld.

I too am stuck on this. I need to enter the total pmts for tax year 2021 for CO. Does that mean I download my 2021 return or my 2020? Moreover, where do I find these numbers and how do I get the correct answer if I have social security benefits on my 1040?

We'd love to help you complete your tax return, but need more information. Can you please clarify your question? I do not fully understand your question.

However, if you need total payments for 2021 CO then you need to download the 2021 tax return. See the screenshot below from the 2021 Colorado tax return. Line 17 is total Colorado Tax for 2021.

I hope this is helpful. If you need additional information please come back to the forum.

Still clear as mud. I assume I should enter "0" for Total Withheld/Pmts. Turbo Tax is directing me to fill in the Total Withheld/Pmts for the 2021 State Tax Refund Information Line. We overpaid as shown in (f), so why does it as for Total Withheld/Pmts in (d) (first screenshot). I did go and look at the fields in last years tax and they are blank (second screenshot). And line 17 from last years CO state tax file is blank (third screenshot). See Screenshots below.
