Thanks for your response. The problem was that there was no explanation of why TurboTax was still using the NYS standard deduction. Finally figured it out by opening the Forms View to see that itemized deductions were phased out based on my income. The end result was less than the standard deduction. So, yes, your response was correct. But it would have been better if the program would have given an explanation why the standard deduction was used and show the phase out. I spent a lot of time trying to figure this out.
