I don't understand what goes into providing the requested Income Tax Adjustment value. TurboTax says "include all Connecticut income tax deducted on your federal income tax return except that deducted on federal Form 1040, Schedule A". I had entered into TurboTax the Schedule A type of items including my Medical/Dental Expenses, Taxes Paid (State/local income, state/local real estate, and personal property) which were capped at $10,000, Interest paid, gifts to charity, and the grand total itemized deductions did not exceed the Standard Deduction so the Standard Deduction was used. As such, TurboTax is not filing Schedule A, Itemized Deductions. Since the Standard Deduction was selected for use (instead of itemized deductions), I assume none of my Connecticut income tax withholding (from Connecticut W-2 earned income and Pension) was deducted on my federal income tax return, and the Income Tax Adjustment entry for this window should be zero? Is it also true that had my itemized deductions been greater than the Standard Deduction and I opted to use itemized, the CT W-2 and Pension withholding amounts would also be excluded from entry into this window? So I don't understand what CT income tax would have been deducted from my federal income tax that was not included in Schedule A (if itemized). Please advise so I can understand. Thanks.
