On our unemployment tax forms we had state taxes withheld but in the state portion it says we haven't paid state taxes on unemployment, how do I correct this?

My husband received just over $10,000 in unemployment and around $300 was withheld. Turbotax is saying we owe around $300 in taxes.

Did you enter the state taxes withheld from the unemployment compensation in the TurboTax program?

 

Enter unemployment compensation in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to unemployment compensation


If you had taxes withheld from the unemployment compensation -

On the screen What's the total amount you received on your 1099-G? check the box Federal or state income tax was withheld on this payment.

Yes, I entered the amounts withheld in the unemployment compensation section. When I go to the state taxes section it adds the unemployment compensation as additional income that was not taxed.
