For TurboTax online, "Tax tools" is at the bottom of left hand menu bar.  For TurboTax desktop, "Tools" is found at the top left of page.

Where is tax tools

I am in desktop Turbotax and my return is open.  There is no ‘tools’ at top left of page.  I am seeing ‘forms’, ‘topic list’, ‘search topics’, ‘tax data’.  No ‘tools'

What do you need to do or see?  I have Desktop and can tell you where to go.

I have Windows.  There is a Tools up on the top menu line.  Maybe it's hidden on Mac.  On Mac go up to the very top so the Apple bar shows up and look around.

Thanks for trying to help.  I am on a Mac.  I’m looking, but no ‘tools’ unless I close down turbotax.  Sigh.

Try switching to Forms Mode and change it on the form.   You might have to find it on a worksheet like the info worksheet.  If you override directly on the form you may not be able to efile.

Are you inside your return?   You have to have your return open on the screen to get to Tax Tools.

Select Tax Home in the left menu.
Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
Select 2020, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you back into your return).

 

After the return is open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS
