Mortgage Interest and Deductible

I am very confused when I saw Mortgage Interest is not allowed, my loan balance is around $370K and i don't see where property taxes were allowed either and a standard deduction appeared as below, whereas in the past they were allowed:

 

Deductions                          You Entered          You're Allowed

Donations to charity          $2600                      $0

Mortgage interest              $15000                    $0

Standard deduction           $24000                    $24000

State and local taxes          $4200                      $0

Vehicle registration fees    $260                        $0

 

Secondly, when i say the Federal Tax Summary, i was surprised to see my Federal Deductions were half but my Taxable Income was almost double when there was not much of a change in my earnings, only $3500 increase from 2017 to 2018 as below:

                                                                                   2017                2018

Federal (Deductions We Found For You)       $55000             $24000

Your taxable Income                                          $43000             $80000

 

I am very confused, please kindly help.

 

Thanks!
