2023 Georgia Schedule 3 Line 8A is red

Help! The red field is preventing e-filing of the Georgia state return. A few individuals at TurboTax advised overriding the calculated field with the total from line 8B + line 8C, which removes the red flag but number remains red. An attempt to e-file was prevented due to having an overridden field.

 

Does anyone know the data source for "Federal Income after Georgia Adjustment" line 4?

I was able to replicate the same problem with a newly created Georgia state return.

I have completed Schedule 3 for the past two years and never had to deal with this issue before.

I had the same issue on my 2023 return. Now I got again in 2024 return.  

 

This year, I figure out the difference is my ROTH IRA distribution.  Perhaps this is the issue?

Thank you for providing your token.

 

Since you don't have any Georgia adjustments, the amount on the Federal Income after Georgia Adjustment line should match your Federal AGI.

 

I compared your entries on the Georgia allocation screens with your federal return. There's an amount on the other income screen (see screenshot) that's not on your federal return. You'll need to remove this amount and replace it with zero. That will clear the error and allow you to e-file.
