Military stationed in AZ, but my state of residence is in FL. I purchased a new vehicle in AZ and used it as an itemized deduction. Never received a refund, why?

I have student loans that I have in FL. The itemized deduction was totaled around $912.

Itemized deductions provide no tax benefit until all of them added together are more than the standard deduction for your filing status ...  that deduction is not enough by itself.
