We lived in Pennsylvania until 12/9/2021 when we retired and moved to Hawaii. I believe I don't need to file a Hawaii return since I didn't live there 180 days and also all my earned income (salary) was when we lived in PA. We specify that information (state of residence Hawaii, previous state of residence Pennsylvania, date became resident of new state 12/9/2021). Turbo Tax then shows federal refund and Hawaii refund and a "see amount" link that when clicked after saving takes me to online store to purchase the Hawaii module. Why do I have to purchase Hawaii module when I shouldn't need to file a Hawaii return?
