Did you file your federal return? If you did, you have to wait until it is accepted to file your State return.

Thanks for the suggestion but I am not using the online version of turbotax. I don't even have a browser open when I encounter the problem. I have it installed on my computer from the hard disk version. I am thinking about re-installing the product to see if that helps, if not I'll have to restart my return form the beginning.

Please clarify your question.

Unfortunately, we can't see your screen to see where you are, so I'll have to ask you a couple of questions.

What state are you working on?
If you go to PERSONAL and then back to STATE TAXES, what screen do you get?
When you go back into your state do you get the screen:
- Let's work on your state return? or
- Does it ask you to add a state?
Is the EDIT button in the beginning or is it deeper in the state return?

Please contact us again and provide some additional details. @ccjjj23

Hi JohnB5677, Thanks for responding to my state edit button problem. However the problem no longer exists .

I went back and re-entered all my federal information and when I got to the State taxes the edit button suddenly worked. I guess I'll never know what the problem was but if it ever happens again I'll try to investigate further.

Thanks again for responding and trying to help
