Itemizing State Only

 

Has turbo tax fixed the issue with itemizing deductions on an Oregon state tax return but taking the standard deduction for federal? I was under the impression it was automatically done, if you completed the Schedule A on your federal return, but after looking at last year's return, it was not done. I will use a different tax filing platform, if the problem persists.

By default, TurboTax will start your state return using the same choice you made on your federal return.   If your state allows you to claim a different different, you will have that option when you complete the state return.   In Oregon, you can claim the standard deduction on your federal return and itemize deductions on your Oregon state return.    You can select the option in TurboTax when you prepare the OR return.
