Your file shows that you are a dual-status alien.  Dual status aliens are not allowed to take the standard deduction per tax law.

If this was an accident and you are not really a dual-status alien, then you can fix this by going to Forms Mode in your Return (it shows you are using the desktop program).

• Bring up your return and click the Forms Mode icon
• When the list of forms populates, select "Info Wks"
• Scroll down to Part VI - Additional Information for your Federal Return
• There will be a check box for Dual Status Alien Return
• Uncheck this box (of course only do this if you are not really a dual status alien)
• You will now be allowed the full standard deduction
