Deductions & credits

Thanks for your reply Kathryn!

 

It seems the simplest way for me is Option 2: enter a deduction in TurboTax Online. I am using the standard deductions (married filing jointly: $24,800 for tax year 2020). Will that conflict with entering this 3100$ as itemized deduction? Or they are two different concepts?

 

In addition, my company is in New York City, NY and I live in New Jersey. Could you please also advise how can I get state tax returns on this 3100$?
