I reviewed your tax file and the standard deduction is $18,800 and your total itemized deduction is $16,265. It automatically is choosing the best deduction for you, which would be the standard deduction. I manually calculated your mortgage interest, property taxes, and state withholding and it summed to the figure of $16,265. The other credits and deductions you get (example: child and other dependent tax credit) go on other areas of the return and aren't part of the itemized deductions.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
