That's usually correct. But a quick read of the subject of this thread and many of the entries should be of interest to TurboTax. For many people, there was (still is?) a bug that causes the user's choice to be overridden by Turbotax, resulting in a big problem when they get to their state taxes. For me, this occurred when my deductions were just slightly more than the standard deduction, and TT rolled me back to Standard Deduction (while stating it was using Itemized as I wanted) no matter what option I selected. I spent an entire weekend figuring out how to trick TT into using Itemized so it didn't cost me $1000 on my state (VA) taxes. That was a few months ago now, and I'd like to think they fixed it but I suspect they have not.
