Two-Year Comparison for State

I can see the 2-Year Comparison for Federal Returns, but I cannot find it for State. Is there one?

If you use a Desktop version of TurboTax, you can find the two-year comparison by going to Forms mode, clicking Open Form at the top of the list of forms, and entering "two year comparison". The comparison is available for both Federal and California in Desktop.

 

In TurboTax Online, the options are not the same:

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen.  Then click on Print Center.  Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return.  Choose the option Include government and TurboTax worksheets to see any available worksheets. You will need to have paid for TurboTax to be able to get all of the forms and worksheets.

A few states have a version of tax history reports; what state are you filing a return for?

Thanks a lot! Actually, if I type "two year" only the Federal shows up. If I type "two-year" then Federal and State show up!
