Afternoon everyone !! So I'm 71 and I usually subtract my NYS Star credit amount from my total property taxes on my 2025 Federal tax return when I itemize which I have been doing for years . When I do it this year Turbotax states that I am better off taking the standard deduction this year . I thought that if I take the standard deduction the Star Credit doesn't have to be deducted from the property taxes . So when I put the full amount of property tax back in it will come back saying I should now itemize . Feels like I'm a loop here !! Does TurboTax do the calculation automatically when it has the NYS Star Credit in to subtract that amount from the total property tax ??
