TurboTax listed my itemized deductions (entered for state tax) on 1040. I cannot correct to get the much higher standard deduction of 25100 for joint return. Very disappointed in downloaded TTax. Why is override not available to correct the Turbo Tax error.?? Why is downloaded different from CD loadedl? I will need to use a different service if I cannot correct the turbo tax mistake.
