My schedule A is not showing up or printing out

[thor-currans]

I have enough deductions to itemize, but the Schedule A doesn't not show up in the "forms" section to the left.  How come?

First , be sure you itemized.  You can see this be looking at line 40 of Form 1040.  You won’t have a schedule A if used the standard deduction. Should-You-Itemize

Next choose “Download all forms and worksheets”, not the PDF if you’d like to access all Forms, Schedules and Worksheets after you’ve filed.  A screen shot has been provided and the answer below provides more detail.

Tip:   If you’re trying to preview before you file, you’ll be prompted to pay (step #4 in the following link) before viewing the full return. How-do-i-preview-my-turbotax-online-return-before-filing

1.  I filled out the Deductions and Credits section of the Step-by-Step section.  It added up to more than the standard deduction. 

2.  My taxes have been filed.

3.  I printed to PDF ALL forms and schedules

4.  I looked at the PDF of the ALL forms and schedules and found no Schedule A

5.  I started the 2019 Turbo Tax application and looked at View / Forms.  No Schedule A.

6.  The amount shown on my return is the standard deduction, not the total of my itemized deductions.

What happened?   How do fix so I can file an amended return?

Some of the itemized deductions are limited -

Only the amount of your medical expenses greater than 7.5% of your AGI can be deducted.

The total of your State Income Taxes or Sales Taxes paid plus Property Taxes paid is limited to $10,000 ($5,000 if filing as Married Filing Separately)

The total of all your itemized deductions on Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit.

Standard deductions for 2019

• Single - $12,200 add $1,650 if age 65 or older
• Married Filing Separately - $12,200 add $1,300 if age 65 or older
• Married Filing Jointly - $24,400 add $1,300 for each spouse age 65 or older
• Head of Household - $18,350 add $1,650 if age 65 or older

If you are using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions installed on your personal compute, click on Forms.

When in Forms mode click on Open Forms at the top left of the page.

Type in Schedule A and click on the result to open.

What is the total amount shown on the Schedule A Line 17?
