Yes, if you claimed the Standard Deduction on your federal return, you can still itemize your deductions on the Delaware return. You must complete the Itemized Deductions section of the federal return. Then, you may need to make additional manual adjustments to the amounts claimed on the federal return.
Delaware taxpayers may itemize:
- Federal Itemized deductions
- Foreign taxes paid
- Charitable mileage
If you file a married filing separate return, both spouses must claim the same deduction (standard or itemized).
To make manual entries in the Delaware State return:
- Go to the Sate Section
