Can I Itemize on my Vermont return if I claimed the standard deduction on the federal return?

No. Since Vermont begins calculations with the federal taxable income, Vermont does not offer an option to itemize on the return. Instead, the state has subtractions you can take if you qualify.

To make manual entries on your Vermont return:

1. State Section
2. Edit (3 dots)
3. Subtractions from Income
