Deductions & credits

Thank you for your response DianeW777.  I am using the TurboTax desktop version.   

 

I guess I will need to try the second option - i.e. deleting Schedule A and re-entering the itemized deductions.  I have tried every other suggested method to clear the checkbox.  First via the interview process after "Done with Deductions" and second going directly into Forms "Schedule A" (the program will not allow me "uncheck" the Line 18 checkbox directly on the Schedule A), all to no avail.
