Look at line 12a of your 1040 form to check to see if you are getting the standard or itemized deduction. The numbers at the top of the page can occasionally get stuck from screen to screen if you make changes too many times, so you may not be seeing what is actually being reported on your return.
Usually, if TurboTax is giving you the standard deduction over your itemized deductions, it is because the standard deduction is greater than your itemized deductions. You can see your refund amount on line 34 or your tax due on line 37 of your 1040.
You can see the updated amount using forms mode in TurboTax Desktop or if you are using TurboTax online by clicking the following:
