How can I override the NY State Itemized deduction calculated by Turbo and still submit the taxes via efile?
I understand that Turbo calculates the best way to file. My federal filing calculated that the Standard Deduction was best for me, but my NY State was defaulted to Itemized, which only gives a couple of dollars of tax benefit above the NYS standardized deduction. Therefore, I don’t want to use Turbo suggestion for the NYS, but instead I would like to submit the standard deduction instead of the itemized deduction since the benefits are not significant. I overrode the itemized deduction on the form, but now it does not allow me to e-file and worse, this message only appeared at the very end of the filing process, after the review indicated that everything was completed and correct and we had already submitted the federal taxes. Therefore, can you pls let me know how can I chose to submit the standard deduction on our NYS taxes?
