Wow! I'm surprised that TurboTax is still including it in 2019's software then! Seems like an easy way to have people make some serious mistakes in filing their taxes!

Several states have not adopted the Federal tax laws that eliminated the Federal credit but it is still allowed in those states on the state tax return. Since all state itemized deductions flow from the Federal worksheets, in order to get the state credit, it must be entered in the Federal section .

That is only one of several credits eliminated for 2018-2025 on the Federal return but still allowed for certain states.

The Federal Schedule A (itemized deductions) for line 16 has a state only worksheet.
