I appreciate the suggestion of filing the state return and then the federal. But according to this link (https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/e-[product key removed]n-fed...), turbotax no longer allows you to file your state return before your federal. So it seems there is no work around and turbotax simply will not allow you to claim the safe harbor SALT tax deduction. That is quite frustrating. Is there another work-around anyone sees here?
