As a result of the <I>Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017</I>, the Standard Deduction amounts have been significantly increased.

In such a case, indicate in the EasyStep interview that you must itemize and the Standard Deduction will not be applied to your return.<BR /> </DIV><BR /> Sat, 01 Jun 2019 17:33:09 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/when-you-begin-a-new-tax-return-turbotax-defaults-to-the/01/198141#M26069 MichaelMc 2019-06-01T17:33:09Z
