My itemized deductions total less than the Standard Deduction but TurboTax wants me to use the Itemized total. Why would that make sense?

Last year I earned more money and had deductions that totaled $28,000 but TurboTax said to use the Standard Deduction.  My overall tax situation is the same as last year (married filing jointly, etc.) so I was surprised that this year it didn't want me to use the Standard Deduction.
