Thank you for responding and maybe you can help (see below). I’m using TurboTax Deluxe Cd/Download Windows.
I’m filing a 2020 Montana state return and it was TT that said Married Filing Separately was the most advantageous. After sleeping on it, I decided to bite the bullet and spent the whole weekend allocating the percentage of each and every entry made in 2019 - what a pain in the neck!
Now my problem is that even though I went through the step-by-steps to itemize on Federal (as we do each year so the info will feed into our state return), I’ve reached a screen MONTANA ITEMIZED DEDUCTIONS MFSC that says: To itemize deductions on your Montana return you must go back to your federal return and enter your federal itemized deductions there.” I already did that weeks ago and I have even printed out 2020 1040 Schedule A and the 2020 Itemized Deductions Schedule for Montana. All the info is right there but TT says I have to do it again.
Sorry, but after a whole weekend on this State return I cannot believe there is a mistake in the 2020 software. I did the 2019 returns and everything flowed perfectly so I know it has to be this year’s software. Thank you for any help you can give me.
