Ah, it would have been nice if I could have FOUND in the supporting forms that that extra was added in. And maybe it is there somewhere that I couldn't find. But I would have thought double clicking on it would have taken me to a place that would display how it came up with the amount.
I also have a notion that what the question is really asking is if I filled in the Schedule A to DO the itemization rather than whether I TOOK the itemized deductions instead of the standard deduction. I'm guessing they want to know about the itemized deductions so that they can use that information for the New York form (which used the itemized deductions).
Thanks a lot for the clarification xmasbab0!
