I've gone through the interview multiple times.  I actually refinanced on 12/30/2019.  Turbo tax is not accepting the data shown in the 1098 section and is giving me a standard deduction. Load interest (33K), taxes (greater than 10K but limited) , and about 5K of donations, should give me a schedule A deduction of 48K, which is greater then the standard 24K.  Turbo tax is not doing it.

You are posting from TurboTax Business----which can only be used for a corporate return for a C-corps, S corps or multimember LLC or partnership return.  You cannot use TurboTax to prepare a Form 1040 for an individual tax return.

If you are completing a 1040 using a person tax program then are you filing separately ?   If so did you indicate in the MY INFO tab that your spouse will take the standard deduction ?  If so that is your issue.
