"Other subtractions" to be inserted in Hawaii State Form N-11 Automatically input by Turbotax erroneously

"Other subtractions from Federal AGE" to be inserted in Hawaii State Form N-11 is being automatically input by Turbotax as "Federal wage greater than Hawaii wage Adjustment", which can't be deleted. Previous screen is "Do you have any of these items not taxed in Hawaii?". None apply for me. However, the box "Other subtractions" is automatically checked in Turbotax. I tried to check "None of these apply" and un-check the "Other subtractions" box, but it won't stay unchecked. It's inserting a large "subtraction" from income, which reduces income tax, but it does not appear to be correct.

Does anyone know what the problem is? Is it a bug in the program for State tax returns? Is there a solution?

Some of the automatic entries for this are:

If the Hawaii wages are larger than the Federal on the W2, the difference between the W-2 box 1 and 16 is entered.
If you had a Hawaii Tax refund, there is an adjustment
If you sold or otherwise disposed of any capital asset and had a gain or loss, this amount will be different from that reported on your federal return.
If you are a resident of Hawaii and had income earned outside of the U.S. and excluded this income by using Form 2555 on your federal return, you must add this income back to your Hawaii return.

Thank you for the explanation. I double-checked and there was an input error in copying State wages into TurboTax, which resulted in erroneous "Other subtractions..."

So my bad, thanks.
