After you file

You are posting from Self-Employed.   Are you perhaps confusing itemized deductions like mortgage interest and property tax with your Schedule C business expenses like mileage and supplies, etc.?   TurboTax defaults to your standard deduction unless you enter enough itemized deductions on a Schedule A to exceed your standard deduction.   Forcing itemized deductions is unlikely to help you.   You can try --and see the results --- since you say you have not filed yet.
