Did you get a state or Local tax refund in 2019??
This is giving me a bit of a difficult time because TurboTax is not knowing how to deal with this situation.
We got Married at the end of 2019. My wife itemized last year in 2019, But I took the standard deduction.
Since I have been using TurboTax for years, each year it imports the info from the previous year. When it comes to this question:
====> We both got a refund. So i answered yes
====> since I took the standard deduction last year, but my wife itemized I just entered her info here.
===> HERE IS TRICKY: I took the standard deduction. My wife itemized.
===> since i did not enter info for my situation, but only my wife's, if I answered i itemized
===> in this case TurboTax gets confused because based on the info imported for last year, i thinks i took the standard deduction.
===> continuing
===> turbo tax confused because i took the standard but I am filling this out since we are entering my wife's info.
===> continuing
====> no boxes checked
===> This section has all the info it imported for my taxes. But since we are doing this because of the 2018 state refund, for my wife it is starting to make wonder if I am doing this right.
===> However i just answer I took the standard deduction then...
==> the issue is over... but my wife took the standard deduction.
So which one should I answer? Or how do I proceed in order to make it work with turbotax premier?
