The Form 1099-Div that uploaded is showing an incorrect state in TurboTax and I cannot locate where to update. The state showing is OR and it should be CA.

You can correct this by deleting Form 1099-DIV and selecting to type the form yourself. Errors from uploaded forms can be difficult to correct.

 

You will need to delete the form that is in your return:

  • Open your return in TurboTax
  • In the left menu, select Tax Tools and then Tools
  • In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form
  • Select Delete next to the form in the list and follow the instructions

To type it in yourself:

  1. Go to Federal Taxes in the upper left.
  2. Select Wages and Income toward the upper left.
  3. Scroll down, or expand the list and find Interest and Dividends.
  4. Expand that section and find Dividends on 1099-DIV.
  5. Click on Add/ Edit to the right.
  6. Answer the first question Yes.
  7. Click Continue.
  8. Click on Change how I enter my form in the lower right corner.
  9. Select Type it in myself.
  10. Fill in the information from your 1099-DIV.
  11. Click Continue.
