I am trying to review the "Deduction and Credits" section of my State Tax Return so that I can confirm the taxes paid credit is correct. The help says that there should be a tab labeled "Deductions and Credits" under both the Federal and State Tax Return sections. However it is only showing that label under Federal and it's showing nothing at all for State. Where can I find this section so I can check that the taxes paid credit is accurate before I submit it.

  1. Open TurboTax Online
  2. Select  Tax Home in the left pane
  3. Select the dropdown to the right of State Taxes
  4. Select  Pick up where you left off
  5. Proceed through the state interview until you get to a relevant page.  For Alabama, you arrive at a Let's Check for any Alabama Deductions page, where you entered any relevant deductions, and when you select Done with Deductions on that page, the next screen shows this:

6. Proceeding further through the interview, you have opportunities to enter any relevant credits.  After those screens, you may see something like this:

7. And finally, late in the interview, you may something like this:

 

If the TurboTax Online navigation suggested above doesn't look like what you're seeing, see the TurboTax Help article Why does the TurboTax navigation menu look different for me?.
