TurboTax is designed to choose between the standard deduction and the itemized deductions so that the program picks the best option for you.
However, if you need to switch the option TurboTax chooses, open your return and then search for itemized deductions and exemptions inside your TurboTax program. Click OK.
You will be taken to the screen that will tell you which one you are currently using (standard deduction vs. itemized deduction). That screen will also have a box to check if you would like to change the method TurboTax has automatically selected for you.
You can also use the search box to be brought to the page where you enter the tax estimates. Type Estimated Tax Payments in the search bar, click ok and you will be taken to the section of TurboTax where you enter these payments.
