Louisiana State Return

Had to create an amended federal return.

I had not yet filed state (Louisiana) return. Amended Federal return changed numbers and new info shows I owe that state a balance of $255 yet TurboTax keeps saying in instructions I owe $261, what gives?

Check for an "underpayment penalty" or other charges on lines 44-47 of the amended IT-540. Sometimes those penalty amounts don't get picked up in a reported number. In other words, compare Line 40 and Line 48 on the Form IT-40 to see if that explains the $6 difference.
