I never had to deal with this before and don't understand it. It says that i must obtain an update for I file my state return in order to ensure that all calculations are correct. To receive an update select "check for updates" from the online menu to connect to our website.
I tried to do this and the steps that i took did not help and got me nowhere, Please help what can i do to be able to finish filing my state return.
Please clarify if you have a dependent claimed on your return that qualifies you for the Empire State Child Credit.
The Empire State child credit, taken on Form 213, is available to full-year New York State residents who have at least one qualifying child (defined below) and meet certain income limitations. The credit amount allowed is 33% of the portion of the federal child tax credit and additional child tax credit attributable to qualifying children, or $100 times the number of qualifying children, whichever is greater.
To be a qualifying child, the following must be true:
As FangxiaL asked previously, do you have a dependent claimed on your return that qualifies you for this credit?
I have this same error, and twice have spent hours on the phone with TurboTax help to no solution. I have manually calculated the necessary forms and worksheets and the data in TurboTax is all correct, but it just loops on saying there is an error. There is clearly a coding glitch in the TurboTax system. Unfortunately, it's preventing me from e-filing my state return, and though I've been a long-time customer, I will not be back if there's not some resolution immediately.
I finally gave up on help and just redid my state so cleared it ans started over. Then you can finish w- filing.
THANK YOU! Worked for me as well. That was a much easier solution than the hours I wasted on it with customer service.
