It seems wisconsin is now allowing you to enter hsa deductions from 2011 to 2021. My concern was I entered the amount and then it asks me to review my federal return.
My federal return I tried to itemize but then we ended up using the standard deduction. After entering the hsa deductions into the WI state return, it brings up a form that has the amounts for other tax credits like interest and charitable donations. It shows these on both federal and state. So am I suppose to then enter this amount on the federal return even though it's the standard deduction? When I put this amount in it lowers the state return amount. I guess I'm not sure why any of these are coming up if my federal return was using the standard deduction. Why does it list it on both? If I put the medical expense on the federal, the federal return stays the same amount and lowers the state return amount... just seems like if it's the standard federal deduction, why is it listing both federal and state itemized deductions using the same amount?
Sorry this is confusing and I'm not sure I explained this very well. Any thoughts?
