Question

Amend 2020 Federal but not State - Get Error 190

Forum|Forum|2 years ago

I am attempting to amend my 2020 federal taxes for a missed second home mortgage interest deduction. I had e-filed my taxes. When I open TT I select my 2020 file. I then get a dialogue box that says "Your federal tax return is now on this computer. Let's go get your Illinois state forms next. Error: 190"

The dialogue box has an option to download my state forms or cancel. I did not use TT to do my state forms. How do i get just my federal taxes to load so that I can use TT to amend? I am not able to get past this error message.

Well it thinks there is a state return in your .tax2022 file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to File-New Tax Return).

Then go to FILE -Open and find your return.

After you get the state program downloaded you can close the fake return and open the real .tax file. Just go up to File-Open and try to open your return. It will either show up in the box to Continue or you can browse to where it is.

Thanks, but this is not a solution as it expects me to pay $45 to download the state return.

Because you are in the Basic version. It doesn't come with the free state. Call in and ask for the state download for 2020.
