charitable deduction carryover error in North Carolina

I think the “fix” might have addressed the mistake if you restart the state return from scratch. I didn’t want to bother doing that, so I ended up just zeroing out the incorrect carryover amounts in the existing return, then resubmitted it. It’s currently pending NC acceptance. I’ll report back if it gets rejected again.

That's what it looks like, thanks for the confirmation - as well as the others that have given info.  I thought something didn't seem correct and I'm a bit bothered in how it was "fixed" but at least I'm in the know now!  Thanks again all.

I wasn't a big fan of that "fix" either, so like somebody said, I removed my NC state return (I hadn't yet paid to e-file), and then started the state return over again. Only took 5 minutes, and the carryover was gone. Made me feel much better than the manual zero. Sent in the state return yesterday. I sure did like the refund numbers better with the carryover though! 😬

charitable deduction carryover error in North Carolina

OH My Goodness.  I just went through two calls with Turbo Tax Representatives.  They could not give me any definite answers and had not heard of a situation like mine.  I filed my Federal and my NC Tax return electronically on 2/22/2022.  Even though, according to their website I found out after I filed, NC is not accepting returns until 2/28/2022.  Also, I was able to file before any updates on the 2/24/2022, even though many people I found out later or most people were not able to file their NC state tax returns until at least 2/24/2022.  But, for me, I had no issues whatsoever.  I attribute this to the fact that I didn't have children or other covid credits I could take and maybe that is why I was able to file it.  Yes, it does state it is filed, but it is pending.  So, here is the issue, yesterday, 3 days after I filed, I went back into the Turbotax software and there was an update.  Suddenly, after the update I owed less money.  The money was exactly the amount of use tax I paid into North Carolina from the year before, in 2020.  Both representatives at both levels weren't sure what happened, but would look into it.  I did further research after realizing the difference that I see from when I filed to now for what I owe seems to be coming from the fact that I now have itemized deductions instead of the standard deduction.  So, I started looking at that and I wondered why in the world was I getting a wonderful carry over from my 2020 charitable contributions.  When I read this post as well as everyone elses posts, I realized, Hey......there is no way I gave 60% or more of my income to charities in 2020.  I am generous, but I still must eat and live.  So......I went in and followed everyone's suggestions and zeroed it out.  I am now back to the number that I owed NC before the update.  Since I already submitted my tax return for NC, and it was right at the time I submitted it, which for me meant, I am getting the standard deduction with NC State and not the itemized deduction, I am assuming that whatever was originally submitted, even though, not yet accepted, will be the correct amounts, (not itemized) making me pay less, because of the carry over that is wrong, but the standard deduction that I originally filed.  So, I am back to paying more.  But, that is better than having to deal with a wrong state tax return. Thank goodness, I printed out what I filed as it changed with the update on the 25th.  Had I not, I would have had nothing to compare it too.  Thank you all!  I mean it.  I think a lot of people are going to be upset.  I am glad, I will not be one of them. It does bother me that I spoke with two representatives and they didn't know why it happened. That tells me that they were not informed.  That is a problem as they have until Monday to fix it and those that submitted it, after the 2/23/2022 update, they have a problem.  Even though my update happened on 2/25/2022, the update said it was 2/23/2022 update and that is the update that changed my standard deduction to a itemized deduction in my case.

@Pokey54 

Good to see you figured it out, and were able to get your tax forms back to the way they were supposed to be.

 

We still don't know what NC will do once they stare processing tax files. 

 

They may see you filed before the updates could be initiated and reject it even if it is really OK as-is.  Or, like you said, since it is using a Std Ded and not really a problem, they could just accept it and move on.

I also have this error in my taxes - thankfully I caught it before I filed. I'm wondering why it hasn't been fixed yet as other people have reported/found it also.

Thank you.  I'm just sitting here wondering.  I have never had any issue like this before so I'm a little frustrated.

@NattySoko36 

 

The NCDOR has already said they will "Begin" processing sometime during this week.

They made no promises they actually started today, and even if they do, they will likely start slow and it may take the whole week to get thru all those tax returns that are piled up and waiting......So "acceptances" could take several more days.

 

Yes, this year is unusual...

Too late for me y'all!  I'm glad to see this thread though and that you've informed NC state.  Please be a squeaky wheel again with the Stat and let them know that TT muffed this one! Thank you!
