I logged off of my desktop TurboTax Deluxe for MAC and logged back in. I entered all my deductions when filling in the Federal forms. I went through the interview process again for Montana state return. I answered YES when asked if I want to itemize deductions. Both of us are set for itemizing on the state return. The forms ask me to allocate the itemized deductions between myself and my spouse. I still have a Montana State tax liability. Interesting when I complete the interview for the state, TurboTax does not show me how much I saved by itemizing my deductions versus using the standard deduction. When I go to FORMS to see how TurboTax is filling in the actual forms, it shows a perfectly filled in page 7 which is for itemized deductions. For both by spouse and myself, the itemized deduction total are a few thousand higher than the standard deductions, but TurboTax does not populate line 15 on Form 2 to show itemized deductions with the correct amount. It fills in the standard deduction amount. Thanks for your help. I am stumped and I have used TurboTax for 11 years with no problems on my state tax returns.
