Feedback

It should be a LOT easier to figure out that there is no need for me to find and enter mortgage interest, property taxes paid, etc., when a couple of VERY SIMPLE questions would get me to the standard deduction, especially since TT has my previous years' data.  First step, TT should say "last year you had $xxxx itemized deductions and the standard deduction is $25---- this year.  Let's see if you have any new deductions or significant changes......"

PLEASE!

That section is used for state filing situations also ... you may itemize on the state even if you don't on the fed in some states.  If you know you will not have enough to itemize you can simply choose to skip those areas of the interview.
