State tax filing

>If your general sales tax was more than the local and state income tax, then Turbo tax will chose the higher amount which (in your case) was general sales tax.  In other words, $267 must be general sales tax.

 

Nope - as stated in my addendum, $267 was estimated state income tax payments + state income tax payments paid with return.

 

The remaining question is #1: why is it filling out Part II at all, aka "adjustments to itemized deductions," when it's not itemizing on either federal or state.  If there's no itemizing going on, it seems a bit odd for it to be printing forms related to itemizing.
