I responded to an email from TurboTax + Mint Community with an email, but I don't know if that goes anywhere. Then, I found this trail again so I'll repeat my comments here. If anyone can tell me how to ask a question that gets to the right people, please let me know.
Hi Cipher 00,
You say that on the federal you entered "the full amount of property taxes paid by me and my spouse". For clarification, as an example, if your total taxes were $12,000 and you each paid $6000, wouldn't you enter $6,000 on your federal return and $6,000 on your wife's federal return? Or, would you enter $12,000 on each? I would enter $6,000 on each federal return. But, then, $6,000 automatically appears on taxpayer's NJ property tax screen, and $6,000 appears on spouse's NJ property tax screen. That looks correct! But, the deduction on each NJ return is calculated to be $3,000. That is clearly incorrect, as the deduction should be $6,000 on each NJ return. Do you agree? Am I missing something?
Thank you.
