After you file

If line 17 of your schedule A is showing $31,000 but TurboTax is still giving you the standard deduction, at the end of the deductions and credits section, you will come to a summary screen.  When you get there click on the Itemized deduction option.  You will then be asked "Which deduction do you want to take this year?"  If you select Itemized Deductions then this should give you the Itemized deduction of $31,000 instead of the standard deduction.
