You must enter your deductions on the federal side of the return by clicking on Federal Taxes > Deductions & Credits.
Once you enter the deductions, TurboTax will automatically figure which is more advantageous for you on your Hawaii return--standard or itemized deductions.
You can see which option was selected by looking at Form N-11 in Forms Mode. To do this
I think there may be a glitch b/c a quick manual calculation, my state itemized deduction is higher than the standard - same as last year. Was on the phone w/ customer service and I had to send my taxes to TT Techs to check the diagnostics b/c they couldn't figure it out either... we'll figure it out hopefully sooner than later. Ty though! 🙂
Hi,
I have a similar issue. Turbotax doesn't offer me the choice to try itemized deductions on the HI taxes, and when I see the form (lines 21-22) they are empty. I tried other suggestions, like forcing the federal to use itemized, but it doesn't change anything on the state side.
Last year it did work automatically.
Thanks
