I've been trying to get similar clarification with KY state tax. Why can't TT allow you to toggle between standard and itemized on the state taxes like it does for Federal tax? When you do this with the Fed tax you can see the benefit or tax difference and validate which is best and also try variations on deductions to see how to optimize in the future. It be nice if TT just said how to do this or that we can't do it manually to be clear for state taxes.
