State Return Rejections

 

Both my Missouri, and Arizona state returns are being rejected. I lived in Missouri from January- September. Arizona from September- December. I only earned income in Missouri but since I moved, I also filed a non-resident form for Arizona. This is the message I'm receiving-

 
Description of error:
Your state return has been rejected due to a data mismatch on your form W-2.
What needs to be done:
There is a potential mismatch in form W-2, Box 18 (local wages) value on your state and/or local return. Double check Box 18 (local wages) of each of your form W-2 in the Wages & Salaries topic under Income or Federal. Change Box 18 to ensure it matches what is on your W-2 and follow the steps to file
 
My Federal Return was accepted but both states are being rejected.

You need to go back into your return and check your W-2 entries.  Do not change anything other than Box 18 of your W-2(s).
