Deductions & credits
I'm having the same issue with my Home & Business Edition- Desktop Edition. My itemized deductions are ~$8K higher than the standard deduction but are still under the new 2025 SALT cap of $40K (and I cannot find that my state of California caps SALT differently).
- TT software
- defaulted me to using Standard,
- showed that both deductions = the same tax-owed result (bug?!?!),
- I did NOT have that box checked in the Forms to default to Standard even if better than itemized.
I feel like my taxes should be reduced by another ~$8K.
Please advise?
