So I’m filing for two states, when I’m trying finish up Indiana’s taxes it is telling me that I need a credit code for certain things that I don’t have, what can i do?

You may have answered a question in the Indiana part of the interview that caused TurboTax to generate Schedule IN-OCC, Other Certified Credits.  However, this can be remedied.

This form will be filed with your Indiana tax return if you've claimed any of the following state credits:

• EDGE-NR Credit
• Film and Media Production Credit 
• Foster Care Donation Credit 
• Headquarters Relocation Credit 
• Hoosier Business Investment Credit 
• Natural Gas Commercial Vehicle Credit 
• Redevelopment Tax Credit 
• School Scholarship Credit 
• Venture Capital Investment Credit 
• VCI - Qualified Indiana Investment Fund 

To make sure you haven't accidentally claimed one of these credits in the Indiana section of TurboTax Online: 

1. Open TurboTax Online
2. Select  Tax Home in the left pane
3. On the  Hi, let's keep working on your taxes! screen, select the dropdown on the right side of the State Taxes box, then select Start, Continue, or Review/Edit
4. In the left pane, select Prepare State
5. Proceed through the screens until you come to the Status of your state returns screen
6. Select  Start, Continue or Edit to the right of Indiana
7. Proceed through the state screens until you come to the Take a look at Indiana credits and taxes screen. 
8. If you see an amount of credit that you're not entitled to next to any credit on the screen, select Edit next to the credit
9. Make any necessary changes on the following screens to remove the credit

Similar question related to the Indiana Foster Care Credit.  According to the Indiana Website it says that credit is limited to $10k but TT allows me to enter in a larger amount.  I'm hesitant to only list $10k, hoping that there is a carry over to 2025

Even the note in TT details

Donations to qualifying foster care organizations may be eligible for this credit. The credit is 50% of the donation made to qualifying organizations, up to a maximum of $10,000 per taxable year.

An application is required to be completed and submitted to the Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR) by donors to be considered for the credit.

Yes, there is a carryforward, so you should enter your entire donation amount.

The 2024 IT-40 Income Tax Instruction Booklet, available at Current Year Individual Tax Forms, is silent on the issue.  However, Schedule IN-OCC, Other Certified Credits, available on the same page linked above, makes it clear that carryforwards are allowed. See Columns E, F and G of the schedule.
