Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I'm sorry @Joan44 , that is incorrect and I can prove it. (See my screen shots below).
I've gone through this repeatedly.. and it happens every time during my final Federal check. Perhaps you haven't seen it because it only happens when the standard deduction is greater than your
Schedule A itemized deductions.
Here are the steps to repeat it:
1 - select I or my spouse will itemize deduction
2 - complete entering deductions, and during the final check, TurboTax says "We've chosen itemized deductions for you". (That's the 1st indication of a problem, because the program shouldn't be choosing for me after I instructed it what to do.)
3 - Click Continue.. my Federal refund increases. But immediately click back, and TurboTax says it's still using itemized. THat is wrong.. it changed but you can't see that yet.
4 - Complete the Federal check.. go back to the final Check Deductions and Credits step... and TurboTax shows "The Standard Deduction is Right For You!"
