Filing PAState jointly -- but wife's 1099-R is coming up under my name -- and says "state return needs fixing." Doesn't it mean TurboTax doesn't know how to run AI?

The error is in TurboTax auto-filling state forms NOT ON HOW I FILLED OUT THE FORM!!!

When you entered the 1099-R in Federal, it asked you whose it was. You apparently selected the wrong person.

Go back to Federal > Wages and Income > Retirement, and fix that.  Then start state again.

The form WAS FILLED OUT 100% correctly on the Federal side. TurboTax doesn't know how to program. When it auto-copied a "joint-return" from Federal to State (it simply auto-filled the first name on the return). I wrote code for Apple, Google, IBM, and Microsoft. The people at TurboTax are weak coders (probably lazy). Maybe I should discuss this with the IRS because there may be millions who are getting their taxes WRONG because of such a stupid OVERSIGHT! I'd like a response. This last one took two hours and got me no where.
