I can't find a way to override Standard Deduction in TT2019.

Every post asked why would you want to do this. I am very close to the standard deduction amount when itemizing. Virginia uses your federal basis. The Virginia itemized deduction has additional state items that in total result in a lower combined tax.

After resetting my preferences in the Tools Section to Itemized deductions as described in the earlier post, Turbo-tax 2019 continues to block me from manually entering the data - the data input boxes are not active and fixed at $0.
