    Is there a way to either force the $300 page 1 charitable deduction or force the state (KY) itemized deductions?

    We will be taking the federal standard deduction, but itemizing deductions on the state return (KY). When the $300 of charitable contributions is entered/checked, it forces the standard deduction on both the federal and state returns. I either need to be able to force the state's itemized deduction or override the federal $300 charitable contributions.    Please help, Lacerte.     Thanks.

    Kentucky is one of several states with this known issue.

    No word yet on a fix from Lacerte.
