Unfortunately, I dont think you understood the question. This turns out to be the same issue multiple other people have posted, all without a real answer. 8283 can be filled out as you say. BUT IT WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN YOUR TAX RETURN IF YOU TAKE A STANDARD DEDUCTION. "if required" is what you say. It will NOT be included in the federal return because taking a standard deduction negates the federal need for the 8283. BUT IF YOU ITEMIZE on your state return, you need to include the 8283 on your federal return and THERE IS NO WAY TO include it in your federal efile nor your state efile. This is the issue.
Of course, you can print out the 8283 and print it out to mail with your state tax return, but you cant efile the state return and have the 8283 included in turbotax. This issue has been there at least the last 2 years and has not been acknowledged by anyone from turbotax as an issue, as far as I can tell. It would sure be nice if turbotax acknowledged this issue so that it might get fixed in the future!
