Question

We have income in a non-resident state. That income did not show up on the non-resident state tax form. The non-resident state found that error after the filing. Why?

Where in Turbo Tax did we make an error? What correction do we need to make in the 2025 filing? What would cause this error?

You always want to complete your non-resident state first before your resident state. Many states offer credit for taxes paid to another state. Also, within the state interviews you are usually asked what income is attributed to which state.

 

If you want to make changes or add a document to a tax return that has already been filed and accepted by the taxing agency, you should follow these guidelines. 

  • You must first wait until the initial return is completely processed. 
  • You will have to use the same TurboTax account that you used for the original tax return. 
  • Once you begin your amendment, you'll see your original return.  
  • The refund calculator will start new at $0 and only reflect the changes in the refund or tax due 
  • Only make changes to the areas of your return that need to be corrected. 
  • You have three years from the date you filed your return or two years after you paid the tax due (whichever is later) to file an amendment
