  1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open it in the editor.
  2. Begin with Part I, where you will enter your Federal adjusted gross income from line 11 of your Federal Form 1040. This is crucial as it serves as the basis for your itemized deductions.
  3. Next, move to line 2a and input your medical and dental expenses. Calculate the threshold by multiplying your adjusted gross income by 7.5% and subtract this from your total expenses to find your deduction on line 2c.
  4. Proceed to line 3 for total taxes paid. Enter all applicable taxes on line 3a, then deduct any state income taxes on line 3b to determine your deduction on line 3c.
  5. Continue filling out lines for interest paid, charitable contributions, and any casualty or theft losses as applicable. Ensure each entry is accurate for a smooth filing process.
  6. Finally, sum up all deductions in Part I and transfer this total to the appropriate lines on Resident Form 80-105 or Non-Resident Form 80-205.
