When filling out my Indiana non-resident tax form, it asks that I put in my federal net income or loss. >>lets just say for sale of business property if I put in $100k it still shows I owe zero tax in Indiana? not matter what I do seems to show zero?

My program is allowing me to enter the income and it is calculating a tax. Please delete the state and begin again. You should be able to click the delete button in the state section. If not,

Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
Locate Tax Tools
Select Tools
See the pop-up window Tool Center
Choose Delete a form
Select Delete next to the state forms. You may need to delete the sub-forms first.
Follow the instructions
