Update:
I submitted my question using the TurboTax Help Box. After submitting my question it gave me an opportunity to call TurboTax directly. I was guided through the following to successfully correct my problem. I was told that this was apparently not a ‘bug’ but this would be passed along for review.
After working through Deductions and marking it Complete TT does a quick check of your Deductions and Credits. Once done, click on Continue. Click on Continue on the next couple of screens to get to ‘We’ve Chosen Itemized Deductions … ‘
Here there’s a box for Change My Deduction. In my case this box should NOT have been checked. (I must have thought that while reviewing this and clicking on this box, and seeing the two choices there, that checking the box for Itemized Deductions here was what was needed. I should have stopped at leaving the Change My Deduction box blank! Checking this box, left the box on Schedule A, Line 18 checked.)
Success! 🙂

Thank you for your reply. No, I don’t think I’m able to report this ‘bug’ as you suggested. If I find that I am, or find a solution, I will add a note to this thread.
