If you enter itemized deductions, and they are lower than the Standard Deduction, then the program will default to the Standard Deduction (although you will be asked if you want to use itemized deductions anyway). If you don't want to enter those deductions, you can just skip the Mortgage Interest, Property Tax, Personal Property Tax, Charitable Contributions, etc. You should note, you could pay less in State income tax in some states by entering your itemized deductions, even though you use the Standard Deduction for Federal.
