Desktop is forcing STANDARDIZED deduction - FIX
Desktop is forcing STANDARD deduction even though the program and forms all say ITEMIZED and final numbers also wrong.
FIX
In FORMS mode go to Federal Worksheet Part VI. That first box asking about Itemized MUST be checked. OTHERWISE the program will force the Standardized deduction even though the ITEMIZED is higher. It will also affect your state taxes and will probably mean more money! The problem usually occurs when the difference between Standardized and Itemized is close, but the solution means a significant change to your final numbers.
