I used Turbotax to do my fed and state (CA) taxes. I have a daughter but claim her as a dependant in odd year per agreement with her father. I e-filed using turbotax. I failed to notice it but I did not claim my daughter on my fed return but I did on my State return. This has caused a big problem as my daughter's father claimed her also, as he should have. How is this possible? I thought Turbotax used the same information for both the federal and state returns.

    In the state interview you may have made an error and claimed the child by accident ... amend the state return to undo the error.
