Deductions & credits
@twalt20 Thank you! I had the same issue as well; the box was checked to take the standard deduction even if less than the itemized deduction. This seems to have been Turbotax's default selection, odd since by taking the itemized deduction I'll have a reduced Federal Tax liability.
Fortunately I was able to uncheck the box without having to delete the State return, which saved me the trouble of having to re-do the state.
For those encountering this issue, here are the steps:
Select Forms icon on upper right corner of the screen
Go to Form 1040 - Info Wks (Federal Information Worksheet)
Scroll down to Part VI - Additional Information for Your Federal Return
Standard Deduction/Itemized Deduction:
Check this box to take the standard deduction even if less than itemized deductions
