For 2021, the standard deduction for a filing status of Head of Household is $18,800. You indicated that your itemized expenses are more than $1,000 over that standard deduction amount, and therefore, assuming your itemized deductions are deductions you can properly claim, you should be getting the itemized deduction amount rather than the standard deduction. Have you checked to see that all of your Schedule A items have been entered in the correct amounts?
Because you have the TurboTax Deluxe download version, you can click on Forms (upper right side of your page) and review your Schedule A form (left side of the screen lists all of your current forms) and compare the total number on the Schedule A with the standard deduction for Head of Household. Lastly, complete your return, and include any follow-up information if the deduction amount is not correct. If you post any follow-up information, do not include in your post any personal identifiable information.
