I am using TTax Deluxe on a Windows 10 PC. I am itemizing deductions even though the standard deduction amount is a slightly higher amount because it is beneficial for me to do so when taking into account my Virginia and Maryland non-resident returns. I have checked the appropriate box on Part VI of the Information Worksheet to itemize even if the amount is less than the standard deduction.
The problem is that when I do the final review, a $300 amount pops up on line 12b of the 1040/1040SR worksheet as if I were taking the standard deduction. When I remove the $300 and rerun the error check the same error returns every time.
With this error I can not file my taxes. What is the solution to this?
