The numbers on that Summary screen mean nothing. The numbers that matter are on your tax return. If you take the standard deduction this year or in any year you have taken the standard deduction - you did not get a deduction for property taxes (it is and always has been an itemized deduction). You get one or the other, NEVER both. Preview your Form 1040 and look at Line 12a - what number is there? If it is your standard deduction, there will be NO itemized deductions on your return. If it is the total of your itemized deductions on 12a, you can view Schedule A to see your property taxes (if deductible, see this Help) on Line 5 - you can itemize either Sales Tax or SALT (state and local, which included property tax).
Use this link to change from standard to itemized and see what happens to your tax return - Ignore the refund meter and summary screen. If you are trying to itemize, make sure all of your itemized deductions have been entered. If you have a $25k standard deduction, TurboTax will show the standard deduction up until the point your itemized deductions equal $25,001.
Standard Vs. Itemized
Please see the FAQ above which explains how standard and itemized deductions are factored into your Form 1040. You can view your Schedule A using the Print Center or Forms Mode to see your real numbers for itemized deductions. The numbers on the summary screens have no bearing on your actual Form 1040 that you are filing.
Why does my refund not change when I enter itemized deductions? This is about medical expenses, but all itemized deductions work this way.
