Tax Year 2018 or earlier My 2018 itemized deductions are $37,871. TT recommends I take fed std deduction of $25,300 vs the chosen $22,871 itemized. $15,000 delta is paid alimony. Why excluded?

I entered all deductions, anTT is saying my itemized deductions are less than the Fed Std. TT's own summary has total deductions at $37,871. TT came back saying this "Although we recommend you take the federal standard deduction of $25,300, you've chosen to itemize you deductions of $22,871 instead" I'm confused.
