It was already giving you the Standard Deduction until your Itemized Deductions went over. Apparently you don't have enough deductions.
This year the Standard Deduction will be doubling so many people will be switching to the Standard Deduction. And there is a max 10,000 limit (5,000 MFS) of property tax and state taxes "SALT".
