I am having the same exact problem. When I get to the end of the Deductions and Credits section, there is the following heading:
"You've Chosen Itemized Deductions
- Based on what you've told us, your itemized deductions of $XX are your best option because they will save you money more than the standard deduction of $XX.
- What you're getting: Federal Itemized Deductions"
There is a box that is automatically checked "Change my deduction Why would I change my deduction?"
This is followed by the statement and options:
"Unless you're sure you need to take the standard deduction, you should stick with itemized deductions (followed by these two options)
- itemized deductions of $XXX (Recommended)
- Standard deduction of $XX"
When I uncheck the box indicating "Change My deduction" the lower selection items go away. Then I hit continue and complete the next section.
When I check the forms, the box on line 18 on the Schedule A form is still checked. When I reenter the deductions section of TurboTax the box for "Change my deduction" is automatically checked again.
I have also tried leaving the checked box for "Change my deduction" then select "itemized deductions" in the next option, then continue. When I complete my entries, on the Schedule A form the box on line 18 remains checked.
Would appreciate any additional help beyond that provided in this chat so far.
