How can I report a Turbo Tax bug with the Hawaii state income tax add on?

Can you provide some details?

• Turbotax defaults to the Hawaii standard deduction if you qualify for the federal standard deduction.
• That is not a universal assumption because itemized deductions are still allowed for Hawaii income taxes.
• There is an income limitation for Hawaii itemized deductions. Turbotax does not calculate the allowable itemized deduction for taxpayers who meet the income threshold.

I made up a fake return. I even put in mortgage interest that was limited on federal and adjusted for the state. When you get to the screen below, you should see your itemized deduction.

What is the standard deduction amount for Hawaii?

After I entered my itemized deductions, I prepared my federal return where Turbotax correctly determined that I should take the federal standard deduction. When I downloaded the Hawaii add-on, Turbotax defauled to the standard deduction of $4,400.

Try altering your fake return where the standard deduction is taken on the federal return. Then check whether Turbotax correctly takes the itemized deduction for Hawaii or incorrectly defaults to the Hawaii standard deduction.

I have changed my return to standard on the federal and am still showing itemized on the state. I am using the desktop version.
