Thank you for the response, the link you provided is the secret to unraveling the mysterious 'TOT' loss. Unfortunately, I already spent many hours discovering it on my own after days of no responses from this forum - such a huge waste of time. A couple of points to consider - TT must improve the search abilities here so we can actually find answers to questions, instead it gives hundreds of non-related responses, the first couple of pages were useless. Second, since I did not use the lengthy interview method, but simply input my tax info along with the previous year's TT info, why did TT determine to check the box that I had no IRAs open in 2021? This appears to have had no impact on the Fed return but certainly wrecked the NYS data, yet I had no idea such a thing even occurred!! Third, what the heck is 'TOT' anyway? I still do not know what it stands for and even goggle didn't seem to know, very frustrating using acronyms without any definitions available.
Finally, my return has been filed, but I have serious doubts that it is accurate and I'm to exhausted from the TT process to care!
