Rumor has it, Minnesota allows it. So does South Dakota, Texas, Nevada, Florida, Alaska, Tennessee, Washington, and Wyoming.

This was the first to pop up on google.
Is this boring enough?

VA & MD follow federal, so you'll get no help in my neck of the woods. I'm finding in several cases it's better to force itemized on federal, pay them a little more tax, and get a much bigger refund from VA/MD.

Sorry, but we don't give "dumb ass" answers here ----------------- we just aren't capable of that. Maybe Drake is better suited for those.
But as a side note, if it was the first time you used the community, how come your profile shows you asking 6 questions?
As another side note, who needs to know the list of all lists about which states allow the 2% deduction? If I am never going to do a NY return, why should I care if they allow it. All you really need is to be up to speed with the states you are filing.

I'd just deal with it on a client by client, state by state basis.

Especially when this joke turns out to be the top answer to a Google search. (And there's no "/s" or other tag to indicate this is a joke.)
Aren't there plenty of other places for humor?
Actual answer, I think: Arkansas, California, Minnesota & New York.
Pennsylvania and some other states decided not to allow the miscellaneous 2% itemized deduction, though misinformation is still out there.

Someone had a reasonable straightforward question, originally. He gave a joke answer. I called him on it... and gave an answer that is not perfect (I haven't checked all 50 states) but is better than a joke. And I said "I think" to show that it wasn't necessarily the final answer.
"Jeff" decided to keep trolling. I called him on it, again.
(Definition of troll, per Wikipedia: a person who starts quarrels or upsets people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community. Wasn't that what he did, the second time?)
Do you think it was unreasonable for the original poster to ask "Which states allow 2% miscellaneous deductions?" Or do you have an accurate and complete answer? Or does Jeff? If not, why keep pestering?
I don't declare myself an expert. I've looked for a good/complete answer to this question and haven't found it. Feel free to help?

But the moral of story is, a little bit of humor goes a long way during tax season but Intuit doesn’t currently provide us a humor font when needed.
As to the basic question why does someone need a complete list of those states? If you aren’t sure about a state you are working on ask about the state here if you can’t find a set of state instructions on your own.

I think I'll pass and let you do your OWN research.
Seems to me help was offered via a Google link, and advice to buy some research materials.
"..on your own."
Excellent idea

“there are 12 states and Washington, D.C., that will allow you to itemize on your state tax return only if you itemize on your federal,”
Those 12 are Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia, he said.

I don't think any of the responders understand the reasoning behind your question. Do you have alot of 2% misc deductions and are considering a move from your present state to any one state that allows these 2% deductions? Or are you just curious as to which states still allow the 2% deductions? Otherwise as someone mentioned, you could just ask if they are allowed in a particular state you are interested in. Most preparers are aware of their state and maybe a neighbor but not all states.
I can answer for Iowa. Iowa does allow 2% misc deductions. Hope that helps and you are always welcome to move to Iowa to enjoy them.

You want us to all call out if our resident state allows it, or you want someone else to go do the research for you?
California allows it.

The Tax Book has a great "All States" resource book, either paper or thru their on-line WebLibrary. It's a great research resource for tax professionals.

I think Arkansas, California, Minnesota and New York still allow the 2% deduction, at least in part. I'm not sure about others.
