Deductions & credits

Due to the loss of my wife and the step up in basis allowed, I can only deduct $13,000 of a $25,000 charitable contribution and the carryover form shows $12,000 being carried over to 2023.  Can I take the standard deduction instead of itemizing and carry over the entire $25,000.  I did a test run of just this and it kept my charitable carryover at $12,000
