Both itemized and standard deductions will reduce your taxable income, but only one can be use each year. After entering your data for the itemized deduction, TurboTax will choose the one that reduces your income the most and that must have been the standard deduction, hence it was the one applied to your return. To learn more about the differences between the two, please see the TurboTax FAQ below.
