I am using TurboTax Premier and went through the process to file both Federal and State electronically at the same time. I paid $25 to TurboTax to file for Oregon.
I spent a long time double checking the Federal return, and quickly (since the state is very simple) glanced at the State before filing after a long, stressful session of doing my taxes. Later the same day, I am looking over my state return (Oregon) and found that TurboTax erroneously reported my Federal Tax Liability as $0 on line 10. So I assume it didn't transfer over this information from my Federal Return. Federal Taxes paid is a deduction in my taxable income for Oregon, so I am now paying hundreds of dollars more in taxes than I should!!!!
I've been using TurboTax for almost 40 years, when I would buy it on floppy disks. Now I am shocked that it would make such a dumb mistake, costing me money. Now I wonder what else did TurboTax get wrong?
What do I do now?
Solved: After a couple hours of frustration trying to fix my return to file an amendment, I found a small worksheet (out of the roughly 100 worksheets in my return) that showed why there was $0 under 2024 Fed Liability.
In Oregon, the federal Premium Tax Credit is taxed as income and reduces the Federal Tax paid deduction. In my case , it brought it to zero.
I'm actually relieved to know that TurboTax wasn't the cause.
