Deductions & credits

This is really annoying.  It appears that Turbo Tax won't let you type in fields where they have decided you don't have any federal deduction available (like certain property taxes and medical expenses).  So you can't type in the fields, even though you need the information for your state taxes.  I keep having to go between the actual forms and step by step to complete any of these fields.  I have been totally unable to type in those fields in Turbo Tax Premier using step by step.
