For my 2015 Hawaii State return I believe I may I have forgotten to deduct my childcare expenses which would have increased my state refund. How can I check this?

This isn't a problem.

• Go to Tax Timeline.
• Select your return year
• Save it as a PDF to your hard drive.
• Open it, your State Return will be after all the Federal Return forms in the same document.
• Search through your forms until you get to the childcare expenses related forms.

If it's in there, you're good to go!

If not

• Sign in to TurboTax Online
• Choose to Amend your State Return
• Make your changes
• Choose to file.
• Amended returns cannot be e-filed, they have to be mailed, but you'll get instructions printed out who to get them to.

NOTE:  I recommend if you were receiving/expecting a refund from your state to NOT mail your amended return until those amounts post to your account.

Doing so ensures your State does not have one e-filed return in process by their computers when an amended return enters the system being handled by a human.  This prevents any issue possible that the two will cause negative impact on the other while worked on at the same time.
