why didn't turbo tax transfer the federal standard deduction to my Louisiana State return

Best answer by AnthonyJ

Unlike your federal return, there is no standard deduction allowed on your Louisiana tax return. However, if you itemize, you are allowed to deduct 57.5% of your itemized deductions and your federal income tax paid.

TurboTax ensures you take advantage of all possible credits and deductions that you might otherwise miss, thus ensuring the largest possible refund.
