Hawaii Itemized Deduction worksheet line 18 is not properly adding up the sum of Line 15 through 17.
Details are as follows:
I did Federal on Turbotax and all fine. I downloaded Hawaii and did steps to answer questions for Hawaii.
At end of entering Hawaii answers I looked at Form N11 and it showed return using the Standard Deduction although my charitable cash exceeded standard dedution and taxable income sizeable.
My investigation shows that Hawaii Itemized worksheet seems to have a problem with worksheet A-4 Gift to charity. Line 15 correctly shows the amount of cash donations I am allowed to deduct and does not exceed 60% of Hawaii AGI.
Line 18 says add lines 15 through 17. However, line 18 remains blank although should not be blank but in my case should equal line 15 since line 16 and 17 are intentionally blank.
If I do override and replace line 18 with the sum of 15 through 17 then Hawaii return uses itemized deductions as expected since cash donations exceed the standard deductions..
