Yes, I am having a problem. On top of the original problem of turbo tax having calculated my itemized without my entering any info yet....they only posted the first part of my question.

So, how are they calculating my itemized deductions without my entering them yet?

Oh, it starts out by giving you the Standard Deduction until your itemized deductions are more.

For 2020 the standard deduction amounts are:

Single 12,400 + 1,650 for 65 and over or blind (14,050)

HOH 18,650 + 1,650 for 65 and over or blind

Joint 24,800 + 1,300 for each 65 and over or blind

Married filing Separate 12,400 + 1,300 for 65 and over or blind
