Now I have been out of the US for over a year (the entire 2024 tax year). On my documents, box 15 is empty but TurboTax is saying that I need to fill in the box. Do I need to say NYS?</P> Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:23:42 GMT confusedwalrus 2025-02-22T21:23:42Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/how-to-fill-out-box-15-for-state-taxes-as-an-expat/01/3507209#M1297817 <P>I am a US citizen and I lived in New York State for all my life.

When I imported it into TurboTax, 15 stayed blank, 16 now had 0.00 and 17 now was blank. TurboTax alerted me that if 16 is filled, then 17 needed to be filled. I tried filling in 17 with 0.00, but then TurboTax told me that I had to enter my state.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So was the TurboTax import just off a bit? Now that I've realized, I should probably adjust 15 to be blank, 16 to be blank and put 0.00 in 17. I will try that.</P> Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:32:02 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-how-to-fill-out-box-15-for-state-taxes-as-an-expat/01/3507239#M1297828 confusedwalrus 2025-02-22T21:32:02Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-how-to-fill-out-box-15-for-state-taxes-as-an-expat/01/3507243#M1297831 <P>Leave 15, 16 and 17 blank.</P> Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:33:35 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-how-to-fill-out-box-15-for-state-taxes-as-an-expat/01/3507243#M1297831 xmasbaby0 2025-02-22T21:33:35Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-how-to-fill-out-box-15-for-state-taxes-as-an-expat/01/3507269#M1297839 <P>Thank you so much!
