Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@SusanY1 Thank you for the quick reply and explanation Susan. I now understand the $750 addback for standard deduction.

What I don’t understand is with an itemized deduction ($18,550, which is compromised of SC income tax, and property tax on my home and cars) why turbo tax is adding back both:

1- the difference between my itemized deduction and the standard deduction, $2800

and

2- the difference between my itemized deduction and the $10,000 SALT cap, $8500


Shouldn’t it either be:

1- $2800 plus the $750 deduction increase for a total of $3550 

or

2- $8500

and not both?
