The program asked me to enter line 5 from my 2015 schedule A form. The line is the taxes I paid in 2015. It reduced my refund from getting $68 to owing $146. Why?
I don't understand why state and local taxes I paid in 2015 would lower my income in 2016. Especially when state and local taxes are deducted. This question came when the program was reviewing my return.
