Actually, upon further review I think the software is defaulting to the standard deduction for MD due to the new law that MD passed in 2025 that phases out itemized deductions above certain income levels. After doing the math manually that makes sense, because my itemized deduction is completely eliminated by the phase out rule. It would still be nice if Turbo Tax gave you the option between the two and then just popped up a warning explaining why you shouldn’t itemize vs just forcing you into standard without an explanation.
