Can you file standard deduction for federal and itemize for state on turbo tax

[Kerk]

But how can you file it separate on Turbo tax? I live in NY and i already filed and i was told that i should have itemized the State. There was no option to file separately in Turbo tax

Yes, you can do so if you live in one of the states that allow it and you have enough state itemized deductions to benefit from doing so. The following states allow you to itemize deductions while claiming the federal standard deduction Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and Wisconsin.

You cannot file a state return separately in TurboTax without recreating your federal return. Please view the TurboTax FAQ below for more information.
