How do I get TurboTax to import state tax withheld (from W2) when the import from my federal return doesn't do it automatically?

W2 form was correct. Deleting and reimporting did not resolve it. Deleted and restarted state return. Still did not work. Credits section lists only estimated payments and property tax. no state withholding. When I deleted the W2, the fed tax due number changed but state tax did not.

  5. Click on the trash can to the right of your form to delete it

  3. Click on "Delete Form" at the bottom of the form
  4. Click on "Yes" to confirm the deletion
