States added in Tax Form Defaults/Templates are not showing in new returns
🔍 States added in Tax Form Defaults/Templates are not showing in new returns
This can occur when the state was added to the Tax Form Default or Templates prior to the states being delivered, so it is currently being used as "reference only".

⚠️ Before You Begin
Make sure the states have been delivered before updating your Tax Form Default or Template.

Step 3: Tab to another field, then return to the state field
