Thanks for your responses.
I think it is probably checking my 2024 status because I imported my 2024 return when starting my 2025 return. If I start a clean 2025 return, then after I select "self only" for all of 2025, it does not ask any further questions. I can tell that my deduction is being applied, so everything appears correct on that front. I'll consider this issue closed.
Thanks again for your assistance!
