Client disabled needs 4 amd returns for 7K/yr exmptns. Previously self-prepd. No change fed? Do I still have to file fed? I was shocked to rcv no support from intuit.

Need help!  I have prior returns from client for 14, 15, 16, and 17, federal and state of HI.  They also provided N-172, which shows spouse is totally disabled.  That entitles the HH to a $7K exemption on their state taxes, but I haven't anything in the IRC that would change that return.  So my questions are (1) how do I efficiently accomplish this with so much data entry (4 years).  (2) Can I simply input the Hawaii returns?

Thank you.

It depends on what the state laws are but if the taxes were paid over two years ago, the 2014 is no longer an open year for federal purposes.

" I was shocked to rcv no support from intuit."   What kind of *support* were you expecting from Intuit?  Free software for those years? TAX advice on the impact on the F 1040?

You state there's a lot of data entry.  For an amended return, you don't need to enter all the details (unless the details are changed due to the amended return) - unless HI is radically different.
