Can you have multiple IA 130 forms?

[prasannaraji]

Turbo tax keeps complaining that I have multiple IA130 forms for the same state though they are different states. Did anyone else face this issue?

If you'd like, we can look at your return and see exactly what you see to  help come to a resolution. The return will be scrubbed and won't include any of your personal details.

If you're using TurboTax Online:

Once you're logged in to your account,

- on the left hand panel, click on Tax Tools and then choose Tools

- on the pop up window, select Share my file with Agent

- you'll see a message saying you'll give us a copy of your tax return. Your personal information will be changed so we can't see any private information.

- click okay and you'll get another message with a token

If you're using TurboTax Desktop:

• Click on Online in the top menu of TurboTax Desktop for Windows
• Select 'Send Tax File to Agent'
• Write down or send an image of your token number and state then place in this issue.
• We can then review your exact scenario for a solution

Please reply to this message with your token so that we can further assist you. Let us know all other states that are included on the return.

The token number is 1289409. Actually this was foreign tax credit . One for Germany and one for other countries (actually many countries on one form as provided by my financial institution). Since this was a joint return I have even this to three but changed to two to see if it works. No luck still.

Has there been any progress on this? Should I just combine all to one IA 130 and file. I am all set except for this.

The IA 130 is for credit for taxes paid to other states.  You could have several of these, if you paid tax to several states.  If this doesn't apply to you, you can Delete the Forms 1A that are not needed.  Here's How to Delete Forms in TurboTax Online. 

However, if you have a 1099-INT/DIV with Foreign Tax Paid, after entering these in the proper sections, TurboTax transfers the amounts of Foreign Tax to the Foreign Tax Credit section.

In the Foreign Tax Credit section, you can enter the foreign tax total as Country 'RIC' (Regulated Investment Company), so you have only one Country showing on your Form 1116.  You can step through the interview in the Foreign Tax Credit section again to change this.
