TurboTax Deluxe CD/Download Windows 2020
Married Filing Jointly husband deceased 2/24/20. Thank you for your attention. My problem is not in Federal (completed and approved by TurboTax but not yet eFiled). I went through all the Steps in Federal including itemizing deductions and there is a Schedule A in FORMS to prove it. TurboTax then told me two Standard deductions were better which I expected and I approved. I finished my Fed and my Montana return immediately began.
There it said Married Filing Separate was best so I went ahead and spent the whole weekend allocating figures from our 2019 return. Finally I reached a screen that says: MONTANA ITEMIZED DEDUCTIONS MFSC - “To itemize deductions on your Montana return, you must go back to your federal return and enter your federal itemized deductions there. Then return here and allocate your deductions between you and your spouse.”
I already did this in my Federal return. Even though I chose standard deductions for Fed, the Schedule A is still sitting in FORMS and under FORMS below Montana there is Form 2-Page 7-2020 Itemized Deductions Schedule showing the allocation amounts between me and my dec’d. husband. I desperately want to find a fix for this problem but none of my requests have been answered. I’ve checked for updates. Nada. Why haven’t itemized deductions flowed to State or why doesn’t this software recognize it is already sitting there? I surely hope that you can help me. Thank you.
