Corrections to state return

user17706574045 — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 17:19:28 GMT

Turbo Tax online says I need to correct some things on my state return. When it takes me to the forms to be corrected, I cannot type or change anything. I do not want to file a paper return!

What are you being asked to correct? What state?

Here's how you can fix it:

Sign in to your account and select the Fix my return button. Follow any “fix it” instructions to update the information causing the rejection.

Note: Not all rejections will have explicit guides to fix the information. You’ll need to navigate to the program area to address the cause of the rejection.

Time-saving Tip: If what you originally entered is correct, you won't be able to e-file. There's probably a data mismatch at the government, a dependent that's already been claimed, or some other situation beyond your control that prevents your return from being e-filed. In this case, your only option would be to print and mail in your return. This article will give you instruction on how to print and mail your return.

Turbo tax is populating the wrong field on a form. It is regarding vehicle use depreciation for business. It is putting the same amount of depreciation on the amt line 51 causing the error. This is happening on the state forms only for California. So how do I file federal only?

I ended up having to go to tools and remove the page that was holding up the state form that needed correction. after that I could change the field and viola!
