State tax filing
Like I said, my NC takes the itemized automatically, perfectly....even with Fed Std Ded.
BUT #1, you have to enter all your potential Federal itemized deductions in the Federal section first...even if you know they will not rise to exceed the Fed Std Deduction.
i.e. ALL potential deductions must first be entered in the Federal section. Property taxes, Mortgage interest (if any), all QCD values with the 1099-R's, all charity contributions (outside of the QCD)...all out-of-pocket Medical expenses have to go in the Federal section. Only then will they be used (if possible) for NC even if Fed uses Std Ded.
_________________________________
IF you did an actual QCD (you were over age 70.5 in 2018)...then those $$ are not included in Federal 1040 line 4b $$.....BUT #2, the QCD will be transferred to be included in line 20 of the NC Sch S only IF your total allowed NC deductions does rise to the level of itemized deductions for NC...if they don't, then lines 15-thru-17 and 19-thru-23 will be blank.
IF you still cannot figure it out...post a list here of what $$ amounts you "Think" should be in each of lines 15-23 for the NC Sch S...then your age at the end of 2018, and you filing status, (single,married, widowed, HOH, MFS), and I'll see if I can figure it out form there, but in this PUBLIC forum it is tough to see what you are doing (right or wrong). Line 20 should be your QCD, plus all the other charity donations you entered in the Federal section.
