Question

State Tax File

Forum|Forum|5 years ago

I already filed my Federal return but Turbo Tax will not download my free state file (Minnesota) so I can complete my state return. I am caught in a loop. I followed the recommended bug fix and removed the old file and reinstalled but it still doesn't work. How am I going to file my state return on time? This is frustrating.

You didn't indicate exactly which "Fix" you used....did you try this one?

Then customer support is your only recourse. Sometimes they are willing to push an entirely separate State installation file to you.....

Having basically the same issue. TurboTax locked up, un-installed then re-installed, now it won't acknowledge that I had previously selected Michigan as my free filing state.

Super Frustrating!!!

Did this ever get solved for you. We are not able to download the state and the updater seams to be failing. What did you actually do to fix this and get your state to download to finish filing your state.

I am stuck in a loop when trying to review my Virginia state tax return. How can I perform this review? I am particularily interested in how to put in the contributions that were made to the VA 529 plan in 2020.

Please view this thread with Q&As about the VA 529 plan and how to enter it in TurboTax.

529 plans are tax-advantaged savings plan named after Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code. The intention of 529 plans is to encourage college savings. Every state and the District of Columbia, and even some educational institutions sponsor a 529 plan. There are two types of 529 plans: college savings plans and pre-paid tuition plans. Investment options, expenses and other specifics vary from state to state.

Here's a TurboTax article with more information about 529 plans.
