RC or anyone...
What is the $1000 property tax exemption? I live in CA and pay several thousand in property taxes on my home. Where can I read more about this? I use TaxCut BTW...(not that it matters).
I must have been asleep when this was enacted.

Hi, news.octanews.com. (Is that really your name?)
I didn't think about it until you asked. ;^}
Yes, it's on the Standard Deduction Worksheet for Form 1040 Line 40. There may be other ways to get there, but I use the Forms Mode, and I just click on the Quick Zoom box just above Line 40, after the caption, "Quick Zoom to the Standard Deduction Worksheet". Since I had already imported the $2300 I paid in 2008, the worksheet had already included the $1000 in my standard deduction, raising it from $13,000 (for 2 Senior Citizens filing jointly) to $14,000.
Thanks for the reminder.
And, yes, I like this interface better than in TurboTax for prior years.
