I am using Federal Standard Deduction and based on my income and taxes can use Itemized Deduction on New York State. I expect NYS IT-196 Line 5 to match my W-2 NYS taxes but the number does not match. It is off by a few hundred $ and I cannot track down where this extra $ is coming from in Turbo Tax. Any chance there is a "bug" in the NYS calculations? Also, I cannot manually change the Line 5 entry. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

If you are still getting an error, it would be helpful to have a TurboTax ".tax2023" file that is experiencing this issue.

You can send us a “diagnostic” file that has your “numbers” but not your personal information. If you would like to do this, here are the instructions: Go to the black panel on the left side of your program and select Tax Tools.

Then select Tools below Tax Tools.
A window will pop up which says Tools Center.
On this screen, select Share my file with Agent.
You will see a message explaining what the diagnostic copy is. Click okay through this screen and then you will get a Token number.
