TurboTax will automatically select the type of deduction that brings you the most tax benefit based off of your entries within the program.
You can view your Scheule A: Itemized Deductions by taking the following steps:
1.) In the upper right-hand corner, click Forms
2.) On the left-hand side, click Open Form
3.) Type Schedule A into the search bar
You can also view your Form 1040 while in Forms mode by finding it on the listed menu. Your deduction amount will be listed on Line 8.
If you'd like to switch over to Itemized Deductions from the Standard Deduction, you can do so by taking the following steps:
If you go to Deductions & Credits in the Step-by-step mode, click I'll choose what I work on, and then scroll down to click Done with Deductions.
You will have to click through a few screens, such as the summary screen for your deductions and credits.
The Standard/Itemized deduction screen should come up soon after, along with a small box to check if you'd like to change your deduction from standard to itemized.
You can switch back to the Standard Deduction at any time by taking these same steps, should you change your mind.
