Federal return is filed and marked as Pending, filed married filing jointly. Ohio state return is showing single, filing head of household but will not let me change it.

I downloaded my federal return to ensure I marked Married Filing Jointly which I did. Now my state return will not let me mark Married Filing Jointly

Federal return is filed and marked as Pending, filed married filing jointly. Ohio state return is showing single, filing head of household but will not let me change it.

Did you switch filing status from Head of Household to Married Filing Jointly in the Personal Info section of TurboTax after you had started the state return?

 

If you delete the state return and start over again, that will typically clear any issues with a state return.

 

If you are using the Online version of TurboTax, you can click Your State Returns under State Taxes on the left side menu.  Click the trash can icon by the Edit button on the far right.  Click Delete on the pop-up asking if you want to delete this return.  Then you can click Add Another State to get restarted on that return.

 

If you are using the Desktop version of TurboTax, Click File in the upper left corner then Remove State Return.  This will bring up a pop-up asking what state you want to remove.  Click on the state in the menu and then click Remove.  You can then go back to the State Taxes tab and pick out a state you want to work on.
