To be more precise. When i completed the 1040 Line 12 b was flagged as an error and i corrected to $600 (married filing jointly). For the Federal Form i Take the Standard deduction as it is better then the Itemized deductions. For my State return (New York) I take the Itemized Deduction because it is higher than Standard Deduction. When i run the error check for the State, Turbo Tax automatically goes back and changes the
Federal Line 12b back to $300. When I toggle back to the Federal Review Turbo Tax changes Line 12 b back to $600.
If I follow your advise and delete the itemized cash contributions back to $600, I will pay more in NY State Taxes as it reduces my itemized deductions. Additionally, I have filed this way the past 2 to 3 years using Trurbo Tax without an issue. There appears to be an issue with Turbo Tax regarding the treatment of staking the Standard deduction in Federal and itemizing in States (at least with NY State) that needs to be correct.
Please advise.
