In my training and experience it was always listed on "other taxes" Line 8 on the Schedule A. I recreated the return last night and found that the previous preparer had entered the TDI amounts as state income tax on Line 5, which I had never seen done in all my years on preparing taxes. This means there is nothing to amend, the TDI deduction had been taken, it was just taken on a different line where I had never seen it taken before.
Thanks to all who weighed in!
