TurboTax Wrong on Last year's STD vs Itemized deduction

JoeGii — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 11:21:16 GMT

I'm looking at last years return (2022) and I used Schedule C with Itemized deductions of 15,270. Form 1040, Line 12 also has 15,270. The standard deduction was only 12,950. However when doing 2023 taxes, TurboTax states that "Our records show that you got the Standard Deduction in 2022" and wants me to confirm this.

How is that possible?

I meant to say Schedule A, not Schedule C.

It sounds like the software has made an error in looking back at last year's data. Go ahead and tell it no and that you did itemize last year. That should adjust anything that is necessary.
