Income not showing up in state

I am a corporate employee (wages/income), and my wife is a real estate agent (sole business proprietor). Everything looks fine in federal but my income isn't being transferred to state, only my wife's.

This is for TurboTax Premier 2014.

Delete the W-2. Type it in again (do not Cut and Paste).  Restart State.

In the W-2  & K-1 entry screen there are places to indicate the state the income belongs to ... review those sections.

Some states have a state version of the K-1 form. If so, there will be a question in the state interview along these lines:
"Did you receive a K-1 for the state of XXXX?"

Is there an amount in Boxes 15-17 of your W-2?

Income is W-2 and 1099-MISC. Both look fine in the wages and income section. When I go to the state section the W2 income isn't there.

Switch to the FORMS mode ... look at the W-2 worksheet ... do you have the correct state ID entered ?

Which state? Is the correct state abbreviation in Box 15 of the W-2?

OP is asking from TT Online. No FORMS mode.

He is using the 2014 program ... it better be the downloaded one.  If they are using the 2017 ONLINE version they need to stop asap.
