Deductions & credits

That is interesting, I tested and it is true, even if the Itemized Deduction amount is greater, that box is checked. 

 

My guess is that the wording should be "If you elect to itemize deductions even IF they are less than your standard deduction, check this box"

 

Perhaps it is programed that way by TurboTax, but regardless, it will have no impact.
