I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THE DEDUCTIBLE STATE AND LOCAL TAX CARRYOVER IS CALCULATED IF A CLIENT DOES NOT ITEMIZE?

There *is* a carryover of unused SALT?

[PhoebeRoberts]

It's not a 2020 item carrying over to 2021. It's tax due with the return, which Lacerte assumes will be paid in 2021.

[abctax55]

Ah... we're talking about the amount that'll proforma over to screen 25 as 'potentially' deductible.  

Sigh, it's been a long day already 🙂

My client's carryover amount contains no state income tax. Why would there be an assumption that such an amount would be paid in the following year?
