Program error in transferring data to state return 2024

I live in a state that exempts all social security income. When data from federal 1040 (line 6) is transferred, the program used line 6b and not 6a. There is a difference between the two numbers and it does not benefit me. I suspect this is a program error and probably effects many people. I can simply file an amended return, but want to make the company aware of this error.

Help line is not capable of understanding that this is not just my problem, but a problem for people in many states. Please fix this programming error.
