Deductions & credits

Farris_S and DMarkM1, thank you so much! That totally solved the problem.  Like you, Farris_S, I have no idea how that box got checked.   While in the Step-by-Step mode, I do not recall any point at which I answered a question which would have triggered  the checking of the box.  I agree that it's a likely a mistake in how the TT software is writtent this year and likely to cost other Oregon filers a lot of money if they do not notice the problem and take the them to try to resolve it.  I feel that the state returns in TurboTax are just not written or tested as carefully as the federal returns.
