TurboTax will automatically use itemized deductions, if entered, instead of the standard deduction for New York if the itemized deductions exceed the standard deduction.

- Single (and can be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer's federal return) $3,100
- Single (and cannot be claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer's federal return) $8,000
- Married filing joint return $16,050
- Married filing separate return $8,000
- Head of household (with qualifying person) $11,200
- Qualifying surviving spouse $16,050
You can view your entire return or just your 1040 form before you e-file to see how your taxes were calculated and to preview the forms that TurboTax has prepared from your entries:
- Sign in to your TurboTax account
- Open or continue your return
- Select Tax Tools from the menu (if you don't see this, select the menu icon in the upper-left corner)
- With the Tax Tools menu open, you can then:
- Preview your entire return: Select Print Center and then Print, save or preview this year's return (you may be asked to register or pay first if you choose this option)
- View only your 1040 form: Select Tools. Next, select View Tax Summary in the pop-up, then Preview my 1040 in the left menu
- You can also see the state return summaries in the left menu
New York does have some special credits for seniors, such as a real property tax credit.
