It is for 2022 tax return. Looking further the difference between the calculated tax withholding with the number from W2 comes from additional tax withholding. Even I already cleared the entry and "start over" the state tax, the number cannot be changed. How can I get the field updated on the tax form?

Why do you think your state withholding is wrong? State tax withheld is shown in box 17 of your W-2. What do you think is wrong with box 17? When you enter your W-2 into the federal software, the information flows to the state software. What "additional tax withholding" are you talking about?

Agreed with the state tax holding is box 17 of W-2. The additional tax withholding come from an entry that can be done in Turbotax for "payment when filing tax extension". It has been used in Turbotax for calcualting the tax withholding. Once the entry is set, it won't change anymore. Therefore the tax withholding the box 17 + the initial entry for "payment when filing tax extension" and cannot be modified even the "payment when filing tax extension" was modified.
