I agree, PTO should flow it automatically.  I used the chat help today and sent the representative the return I was working on.  She tried for 40 minutes and the best she could come up with add it to the state screen in the section that you would add it if it is different from the Federal.  I'm trying to avoid entering it twice or do any other manual action in addition to the proper place to enter it.

Since this happens somewhat frequently on a number of returns, I wonder if it is some problem with the files when the clients/returns were created when my data was converted from UltraTax a couple of years ago.
