You are not doing anything wrong nor have you missed an entry.
Absent unusual circumstances, final year deductions on termination (Excess deductions listed on Line 11 with an "A" code) are treated as miscellaneous itemized deductions on an individual income tax return and, as such, are routed to Schedule A. The issue with that is tax reform (the TCJA) has virtually eliminated miscellaneous itemized deductions so the figure you have on Line 11 ("A" code) is no longer deductible.
See https://www.irs.gov/publications/p529
You can (and probably should) check with the executor, administrator, or anyone else authorized to act on behalf of the estate to ensure that those final year deductions have been accurately reported.
