UT state tax return

tax151 — Thu, 13 Feb 2020 22:27:52 GMT

I'm curious why my earnings didn't automatically transfer over from my federal forms. I finished all the asked questions, and the number for refund from state stayed $0 throughout the whole process. When I go and look at the forms manually, there is nothing on the AGI line of the state return. I also tried to manually enter that number on the form, and it wouldn't let me. Not sure what to do......ideas?

If your wages or withholding didn't transfer to your state return, go back to your W-2:

Select the Federal Taxes tab near the top of the screen.
Select the Wages & Income subtab.
Find the Income Summary screen.
Select Update to the right of Wages and Salaries.
Select Edit next to the W-2 that contains the state income and withholding in question.
Scroll down to Boxes 15-17 (state wages and taxes withheld) and check the following:
- Box 15 State should contain the correct 2-digit state code. For example, if an Arizona resident wrongly chooses AR instead of AZ, TurboTax won't pull the information over. Check your US USPS state abbreviation here.
- Box 16 Wages should contain the wages that were earned in the box 15 state. If this field is left blank, TurboTax sometimes transfers the box 1 (federal wages) amount, but not always.
- Box 17 State Income Tax should contain the taxes withheld amount (the withholding) for the state in box 15.
Select Continue twice to save your changes. If necessary, repeat these steps for other W-2s.

I have tried both of the work-arounds for income not transferring to state return. After closing out, the AGI transferred. The 2nd W2 did not. Is there a way to add it manually? What to do?

I am having the same problem. At first nothing transferred and so it showed a $0 for UT refund. Now it has only transferred my state withholdings and so it shows a large refund, but I know I should be owing??? I have done both things suggested in the work arounds.
