State tax filing

Montana does not have itemized deductions anymore.  

Montana no longer has a specific standard deduction. The calculation of Montana taxable income will begin with federal taxable income (less the federal qualified business income deduction). This means that if you take the federal standard deduction, it will be used to figure your Montana taxable income. If you itemize deductions on your federal return, this amount (without regard to the state income tax deduction) will be used to calculate your Montana taxable income.  Montana Tax Simplification Resource Hub
