I took itemized deductions on my 2018 taxes and now looking back and working on my taxes this year I should have picked the standard deduction. How can I amend this? I tried to go through the turbo tax amend tab but I was only able to change what was listed as deductions and not actual change to the standard deduction.

After you have entered all your deduction, TurboTax will say which deduction (standard or itemized) is best for you. You can choose to keep the suggestion or change. This is what you want to look for. You can also try entering standard deduction in the search box in the top right corner.
If you filed, it is like dropping it into a mailbox - you cannot get it back.
You'll have to wait until your return is either accepted or rejected.
See this TurboTax FAQ for help with amending.
You can check the status of your amended return here, but allow 3 weeks after filing for it to show up.
