Using the CD purchased TY2023 Deluxe version, the TurboTax error of using of the Oregon standard deduction also happened to us, but was not noticed until after submitting the State return, so we will now need to file an amended return. I tested their program on 04/16/2024, creating both a single and joint unsubmitted fake returns, and found that it still had the same problem.
So, at about 2:30pm today, 04/16/2024, I called TurboTax at [phone number removed] to notify them that Oregon returns, by taxpayers who own homes and usually have larger itemized deductions, are being created incorrectly, since their system is not populating the Oregon schedule OR-A. I also reported that their TurboTax supporting worksheet details indicate that they are automatically selecting "Check this box to take the standard deduction even if less than itemized deductions" on both the Federal and the State worksheets, without any request by the taxpayer. They transferred me to a supervisor who stated she had submitted the problem for review. I requested that after completing their review, they notify me of their findings.
If the error is verified, Oregon taxpayers owning homes (larger itemized deductions than Oregon standard deduction) who used the CD, will need to file an amendment to use the itemized deductions for their Oregon return. I stated that it will probably affect many Oregon taxpayers, so they should make it easy and free to do so.
