Jul 09, 2020  I used TurboTax to file 2 federal returns and 2 state tax returns for myself and my son's. Last Monday, I imported my son's 2018 TurboTax return that includes 2018 CA State return. Since then, TurboTax allows me to edit, change and review federal tax returns but defaults to CA state form update and would not add another state.

  Materials needed:

  • VirtualBox (download here)
  • Windows XP/Vista/7 install media
  • TurboTax (2009) [duh!]

  Prepare the Virtual Machine for TurboTax

  Install VirtualBox if you haven’t already, using the download link above.

  

  Install your virtual operating system of choice in VirtualBox. The intricacies of this will not be covered here. However, I recommend Windows XP since it is smaller in size than Vista or 7.

  Hack Add Additional State Turbotax Machines

  Install the VirtualBox Guest Additions (highly recommended). This enhances the video quality in the guest OS and also allows shared folders, which can make it easier to transfer files (e.g. tax documents).

  *If your guest operating system is Windows XP or Windows Vista, you will first need to install the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. (web installer, full offline installer)

  Install TurboTax (2009) into the guest operating system. Run the application and allow it to grab updates, then exit out. Shut down the guest OS.

  From the VirtualBox interface, create a snapshot of your VM.

  Download the 1st free state

  Start up the virtual machine and open up TurboTax.

  Click “Start a New Return”.

  Go to the “State” menu. Keep clicking “Continue” until a window pops up asking you to choose a state to download for free. Proceed with the download.

  

  Once the download is finished, quit TurboTax. Navigate to the location “C:Program FilesTurboTaxForms”.

  

  Of the directories listed, it should be relatively easy to pick out the one that corresponds to the state you just downloaded (e.g. ohi_09 corresponds to the 2009 Ohio forms). Simply transfer this folder (zip it up first if you’d like) to your real OS, or any other permanent storage location.

  Shut down the VM.

  Reset the VM and download more states for free

  Go to the snapshots menu in the VirtualBox interface (see screenshot above). Right click the snapshot you made and hit the “restore” option.

  Turbotax For Mac Computers

  Reboot the VM. The VM and the TurboTax install are now in the original state (no pun intended) where it will allow you to download one more set of state forms for free.

  Repeat the process described above to download the state forms.

  Rinse and repeat, if desired.

  Add the state forms back into TurboTax

  Turbotax Add Bank Account

  Now that you have all the state forms you need, it’s time to add them back into TurboTax. Copy/move these form directories back into the “C:Program FilesTurboTaxForms” on your virtual machine.

  The next time you start up your virtualized TurboTax install, it should scan and pick up these new forms. You can now proceed to use TurboTax normally. If desired, the new form files can also be added into the forms directory of a TurboTax installed in a real OS.
