@KrisD15 So I have to go back to my federal section, edit any one of the 1098s for my mortgage lenders and subtract the STAR credit from it?
If yes, then I have a note for turbotax (not directning this at you @KrisD15, I thank you for the quick help. Maybe you can forward this to the appropriate person at TT?)
This seems awfully manual and easy to miss for most users. It originally asked us what's in our 1098 forms (or read it automatically from our scans). But then we have to go back after our state taxes are done (if TurboTax recommends we itemize) and then change it from it's original value?
It just seems off that we're asked to put in values from our 1098 and it specifically lists them for each lender. Then we go ahead and change it to something different later on.
If anything I'd expect the software to either go back and subtract STAR automatically or add a line or note anywhere showing that it removed the STAR credit from our property taxes on the federal forms after it runs it's automatic "check/validation" at the end of the state form.
