wj, I went back to TT and did my Fed and OR last night. I started off with itemized for Fed, took the standard deduction instead, and gritted my teeth and did Oregon. Lo and Behold, it took that info and loaded it on OR-A and there was my refund I had hoped for. I had gone on H and R block, but when I went all the way through Fed and State without filing, just to see, it took only 2100 standard deduction for Oregon or whatever it is. So perhaps how it works is you itemize for Federal, if you are below the 12K or 24 K, you take standard deduction for Federal, and then it imports those deductions for Oregon OR-A. So it all worked, and was accepted, even though it shows no option to do it. I did not see it until after I paid and printed everything out.
