"in transferring file from PY,  system automatically checks box "sales tax" (5b) in determination of py state refund taxable when in fact, the state tax withheld was used in the SALT deduction on py schedule A.  Box 5a should be checked ... but system automatically selects incorrect box 5b instead which makes the taxability incorrect.........…"

This was an issue back in the very beginning of the season, it was fixed in mid January.....any files transferred into 2018 prior to the fix didn't get fixed, they needed to be deleted and re-transferred for them to reflect the correct state refund information.

Not sure I understand the first part of your post......it shows the state return box is checked to print, but it doesn't?
