You don’t have to report any deductions if that is what you want to do.
TurboTax will let you skip Deductions & Credits and file with the standard deduction. To do this, say no or $0 whenever TurboTax asks a question about deductions.
If your State allows for any type of itemized deductions, though, you normally must enter those in Federal first.
If you want to skip entering your itemized deductions you can do that. Many people will not have enough itemized deductions this year to itemize, and will just be getting their new higher standard deduction. The thing is, though, that some of those deductions could make a difference on a state return even if they do not affect your federal return. Information flows from your federal return to your state return, so it might not be a bad idea to go ahead and enter them anyhow. It cannot hurt you.
The following states allow you to itemize deductions on just the state return: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and Wisconsin,
Thank you!
