I am using the desktop version, my spouse and I are filing MFS and we're taking the Federal standard deduction. My spouse has filed both his Federal and State return. I had filed my Federal return and found an error with my State return before filing it. To correct my State return, I need to change answers to the TurboTax interview in the Federal deduction section. Basically, I had data entered property tax information and it transferred to my Oregon itemized return but my spouse claimed it on his Oregon itemized return.
Can I go back into the Federal interview and delete the information I entered for property taxes? I tried duplicating my return to test it but the program continues to lead me towards filing my Federal return - but I don't need/want to. The change won't affect my Federal return, just my State return. Is there a way to make the correction so it updates my State return and any worksheets and comparisons TurboTax prepares without filing the Federal again?
