Be sure to enter all your itemized deductions into your federal return - they will transfer to your California return. TurboTax will automatically use the larger of the California itemized deductions - which are different from federal - or the California standard deduction.
See Part II of California Schedule CA. The amount on line 30 is the larger of the two.
To enter your property taxes in TurboTax, follow these steps.
- With TurboTax open select the Deductions & Credits tab
