I called TurboTax for assistance. The agent told me that the vehicle registration fee deduction is only available if you itemize your deductions. I am not itemizing my deductions, I am taking the standard deduction. So TurboTax should probably not be displaying the 2018 vehicle deduction on my summary page.
Additionally, I noticed that the 2018 vehicle deduction, while displayed, is not actually included in the 2018 total deduction.
Here is what I see:
Deductions 2018 2019
Standard Deduction $ 12,000 $ 12,200
HSA Deduction $ 3,450 $ 3,500
Vehicle Registration Fees $ xxx $ 0
---------------------------------------------------
Total Deductions $ 15,450 $ 15,700
Note that while $xxx is displayed in the 2018 column, $xxx is not included in the 2018 total.
The agent I spoke with said she would report the issue to her manager.
