Why are you even using 2 different 2020 TT platforms? There's no way for us to tell if you did everything the exact same way in both, but run a program update in the desktop version.
1) I bought TurboTax and when I went to download the program I figured the website would be easier and faster. The program code didn't work so I downloaded the program.
2) I found the problem. The program claims last year's refund as taxable and the website states that it is not taxable.
No idea why what is essentially the same program gives two completely different answers for the same thing.
@t-holly-comcast- I would go through and verify all of the questions were answered the same. Also, if you normally use the download version than it was carried over from the previously filed return and itemized the state refund. If you just input information into TurboTax Online for the first time, the program doesn't know that you itemized.
Please see the directions in the TurboTax article below on how to transfer your information: How do I transfer last year's return into TurboTax Online?
If you already started your 2020 return in TurboTax Online, transferring will clear any info you have already entered. Please keep in mind, a .tax file from a previous year won't transfer if the file is password protected.
Here's how to transfer:
You have to use TurboTax Online on your computer to do this transfer (it won't work from a mobile device/mobile web, or in the mobile app).
Follow the instructions to finish transferring your file.
