Everybody gets the larger of the standard deduction ($12,400 for single filing status) or the itemized deduction on an income tax return no matter what your income is ... the is standard operation of the form 1040 and is correct. Don't let it trip you up. Now if you are filing just to get the stimulus money then you will need to wait until they update that section of the program ... return after 1/20 if you have not received the check in the mail to see if it is updated yet and ready to efile.
