I am itemizing this year due to the increased SALT deduction. I understand that there may be a limit, but I want to see the option of choosing standard or itemized. In my case, after the "unallowed" is deducted, the itemized is less than the standard deduction. Can I choose to take the standard in Georgia?
I understand from the program that some people choose to use the standard if it benefits them on their state return. But in my case, even if I changed to Standard on my Federal, in INCREASES my state amount due, not decrease. So, I can't/won't change my federal
Is this the politics at work? President Trump changed SALT, but the states aren't changing to match, right?
