The short of this is that filing jointly I looked at form OR-40 box 17 where we had properly check both of us as being over 65. In this case Turbotax had properly added $2K to the standard $5.5K and put $7,495 in box 17. Our particular county property tax payment was more than $5.5K but less than $7.5K so of course we will take the standard deduction for Oregon. We took the standard deduction, which is much larger, on the Federal return so we were never asked about property tax.
