I indicated that I wasn't claiming the northern allowance but Turbo tax puts it in my deduction summary anyway. How can Turbo Tax stop putting it in my summary?

I need to stop Turbo Tax from putting northern allowance  in my "deduction summary" when I chose to not use it. How do I correct this Turbo Tax mistake?

You can follow these steps to correct the issue:

  1. Navigate to the "Deductions" section and then select "Other Deduction". You will find "Northern Residence Deduction". Or you can also click on the "Find" option on the top right and search for "Northern Residence Deduction".
  2. Tell Turbo tax that you qualify and remove any information that pops up in the next screens.
  3. Then you can click on Continue, you will then go back to the "Deduction" section and you can click on "SKIP" when it asks if you'd like to claim the Northern Residence Deduction. 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
