1. I filled out the Deductions and Credits section of the Step-by-Step section. It added up to more than the standard deduction.
2. My taxes have been filed.
3. I printed to PDF ALL forms and schedules
4. I looked at the PDF of the ALL forms and schedules and found no Schedule A
5. I started the 2019 Turbo Tax application and looked at View / Forms. No Schedule A.
6. The amount shown on my return is the standard deduction, not the total of my itemized deductions.
What happened? How do fix so I can file an amended return?
Some of the itemized deductions are limited -
Only the amount of your medical expenses greater than 7.5% of your AGI can be deducted.
The total of your State Income Taxes or Sales Taxes paid plus Property Taxes paid is limited to $10,000 ($5,000 if filing as Married Filing Separately)
The total of all your itemized deductions on Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit.
Standard deductions for 2019
- Single - $12,200 add $1,650 if age 65 or older
- Married Filing Separately - $12,200 add $1,300 if age 65 or older
- Married Filing Jointly - $24,400 add $1,300 for each spouse age 65 or older
- Head of Household - $18,350 add $1,650 if age 65 or older
If you are using the TurboTax desktop CD/Download editions installed on your personal compute, click on Forms.
When in Forms mode click on Open Forms at the top left of the page.
Type in Schedule A and click on the result to open.
What is the total amount shown on the Schedule A Line 17?
