Thank you! This worked. Not only that but when I navigated to the screen you mentioned which compared values it presented all my itemized deductions at zero as if I never entered anything! This has never happened before. When I selected itemized, it suddenly filled it with my numbers. Also, after encountering this glitch in TurboTax and using FreeTax with the same numbers, it gave me $40 more credit using the standard deduction. (not sure how that can be but I'll take it) Also, it was user friendly and presented me with the correct values to compare. Been using TurboTax for 20 years but with these problems and the fact that they include less and costs more each year, I am no longer a fan. Last year I got the premium for $119 and it did not include NOL carryforward and had to do manually. I called H&R Block and they didn't even know that NOL is used for casualty carry forwards....argued that was for business only...so, yeah, the "experts" are not reliable either. At least I found that I can get a better program for free that I've been paying $60-$120 to TurboTax. It was good while it lasted tho. Thanks again!!!
