Louisiana Form IT-540 line 8B

TurboTax fills in 12,200 for filing states 1 in Line 8B.  The Instructions for IT-540 say the value should be 12,400.  Is this an error in TurboTax?

No. Line 8b of your Louisiana IT-540 is your federal standard deduction. If you filed your federal return as single or married filing separately, the standard deduction for 2020 was $12,400 and would be entered on this line of your IT-540.

That's correct, but TurboTax automatacally inputs $12,200, and I don't know how to get the correct $12,400 correct value to show.

Is your software up to date? My TurboTax is showing the correct Federal Standard Deduction on both TurboTax Online and CD\Desktop.
