Thank you for this post. I'm having this same problem in 2023 (after stumbling upon the IRS instructions right before I'm about to file) and it looks like TT has been doing it wrong on my taxes for years. This is a major fail. It implies it will handle it all automatically and it doesn't. Unless you hit "learn more" next to each line item, it never says this isn't allowed if you're taking the standard deduction. I will send feedback this year and hope they fix it. Not sure why such an obvious error doesn't come up in their "smart check". Makes me worried about everything else.
