Deductions & credits
I take it you are using the Online product and haven't paid for it yet, so cannot see Schedule itself (which would answer your questions).
First, the Educator expense is not an Itemized Deduction but goes on line 10 of Schedule 1 (1040). See IRS Tax Topic 458.
Second, the numbers you are giving for 2020 are the amounts you entered, not the amounts actually being used on Schedule A, right?
If so, I suppose the first thing is to go back though looking for typos.
The second thing is to wonder if your mortgage interest deduction has been reduced. As you may know, the rules for recent mortgages (which affects refinanced mortgages, too) has reduced the amount of interest that you can deduct. Is the sum of your mortgage plus any HELOC (home equity loan) more than $750,000?
So tell us about your mortgage.
