  Hello! I have  "State and Local Income Tax Greater Than $10,000" with a negative number beside it. I benefited from a standard deduction. I can't figure out how it came up with this number because it doesn't seem like I paid more than $10,000 - the allowable amount.

It is the amount of state (and local)  income tax withheld from your income (such as a W-2)  (or the amount of sales tax that you entered) plus Property Taxes paid. 

 

Is the negative number showing the amount UNDER the 10,000 limit? 

You can look at Schedule A line 5e, but to view this you may need to switch to Itemized Deductions.

The negative number is negative $1600. I don't have a schedule A. I pulled up all the forms at the "review" section and did print preview.

How do I switch to itemize on desktop?
