I itemized the deductions and the amount is above the $26500 standard deduction but it says the standard deduction is best. Also, when it shows the summary of itemized deductions it shows a zero in the following areas: mortgage interest, donations to charities, real estate taxes, state and local income taxes even though I inputed amounts in each area that add up to more the $26,500. Should it at least show the amount inputed for each deduction to compare to the $26,500? I am totally confused.
