When TurboTax gives the summary of your deductions, it summarizes everything that is entered, which may include some things that are subject to limitations.
For example, you may have $20,000 in state and local taxes (SALT) as part of the summary total, but only $10,000 of this amount can actually be used. Similarly, it may show all of the amount of medical expenses entered, even though only the amount greater than 7.5% of your AGI is used.
If you use the method suggested above by @TomK2023 to switch from one to the other you may see that the actual amount of itemized deductions able to be used is lower than the standard deduction. Tha majority of the time, this is the issue.
If you are still not feeling confident, please let us know and we can try to assist with additional troubleshooting to ensure that you're seeing the largest deduction possible.
