Summary of deductions shows zeros on each line item yet a total more than standard deduction

On the page "Here are your 2019 and 2020 deductions and credits", each deduction line item shows zero for 2020 and yet there is a total of $14,350.   The "good news" is that I'm getting the standard deduction of $14,050.  Why?  This is very confusing.

When I change my deduction on the next screen, I get a total itemized deduction of $13, 019.  On the summary page, the amount of each deduction shows up with a total of $13,319.

In both cases, there is a $300 difference that is unexplained.

Should I close my eyes and assume TurboTax is correct?   I would really like to see a worksheet that calculates the itemized deduction and compares it with the standard deduction.  Is there one?
