Turbo Tax is not giving me an option to itemize my deductions on the NYS IT-203 Non Resident Form. I was able to Itemize last year. Does anyone no why?

It may be that your New York State Itemized Deductions this year do not exceed your standard deduction.

TurboTax will not allow you to override New York standard deduction if it is better than NYS Itemized Deductions.

However, since the NY itemized deduction amount is less than federal and you are claiming the federal standard deduction, you can remove deductions to bring you under the itemized deduction floor.

You can view your New York State Return before e-filing to check this as follows:

In TurboTax Online you can view your entire return before you e-file:

1. Sign in to your TurboTax account
2. Open or continue your return
3. Select Tax Tools from the menu (if you don't see this, select the menu icon in the upper-left corner)
4. With the Tax Tools menu open, you can then:
   • Preview your entire return: Select Print Center and then Print, save or preview this year's return (you may be asked to register or pay first)
   • View only your 1040 form: Select Tools. Next, select View Tax Summary in the pop-up, then Preview my 1040 in the left menu

You can preview your return in the TurboTax CD/Download software by following these steps:

1. With your return open in TurboTax, select Preview from the File menu at the top. (If you don't see "Preview," open your return, not just the program).
2. In the pop-up window, choose the set of forms you wish to see (all official forms, specific forms, etc.) and select Preview.
3. Scroll down to view all the forms if you chose to preview multiple forms.
