SALT deduction error

So, I actually had filed both my Federal and Idaho State return, and the Idaho return was filed with the error mentioned in this string.  This past Friday, February 13th, I received my refund from the State of Idaho- they processed the return without realizing the issue (probably because they actually trusted that TurboTax would provide a correct and accurate return).  As a result, I got about $90 more than I should have, but I'm ok with that...

SALT deduction error

Thanks for responding on this post, rolanddawson2500.  I should have copied the Oklahoma stream here when I commented on the Oklahoma post yesterday.

 

@DawnC and @SusanY1, TurboTax has confirmed there is an issue with SALT calculations for Oklahoma filers, but I have not yet seen any updates regarding the SALT calculation errors reported by Idaho filers two weeks ago. 

 Has TurboTax recognized this error for Idaho returns? Is it being corrected and is there an ETA for completion? In the meantime, is there a way for me to file my federal return now and my Idaho return later?

SALT deduction error

We're aware of the issue and I'm following up on that now @haleyrsd In the meantime, yes, you can file Federal first and then wait to file the Idaho return after the Federal is accepted. I understand this isn't ideal. 

 

In TurboTax Desktop, navigate to Step-by-Step > File > File a Return; from there, the prompts will allow you to choose which return(s) to file. The option is available in TurboTax Online as well.

 

More info from FAQ - How do I e-file my state after I already filed my federal?:

Although you can e-file your federal and state taxes together, if you choose to e-file your federal first, you'll have to wait until that return has been accepted before you can e-file your state.

 

If your federal hasn't been accepted, or you printed and mailed it, you won't be able to e-file your state but you can print and mail a paper return.

 

Married filers: If you e-filed your federal using the joint married status, but you want to e-file your state returns separately, only one of you will be able to e-file. The other must paper-file their state return.
