There is nowhere on the form to add it back in. You will have to use the 1040 if you're doing a paper form (goes on line 10).

Probably would be easiest just to do the 1040. It looks like most e-file programs would take you through those steps, anyway, if that's how you plan to file.

Thanks - I efiled last year, guess I'll do that this year if USAA offers TurboTax for free again. I just downloaded forms and instructions to do a penciled-in rough estimate while I'm waiting for the 1099-INTs to come in.

It's crazy - we're not even itemizing, we've got 2 new schedules this year and it took me a couple of hours to go through the instructions and do the schedules to find out we qualify for the "standard" $1000 real estate tax deduction the $800 "pay to work" credit without adjustments.

I thought our taxes were supposed to be getting simpler - I pity the people who are trying to figure out if/how much they qualify for all the new credits Obama put out last year.

And I still have to figure our state tax (CT isn't a "piggyback" state)!

If you have a refund from the state and itemized in the previous year, you must use Form 1040. Report the state refund on Line 10, Taxable refunds, credits, or offsets of state and local income taxes, on Form 1040.

Sorry, but you can't use Form 1040A.
