For medical deductions it says "You have a choice on how to claim. You can either take the Standard Deduction or itemize. " How can you opt for standard deduction?

I have less than $6,000 in medical bills so I guess I got the standard deduction?

Medical expenses are only a part of the itemized deductions.  Also, your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is taken into account when determining whether any of your medical expenses are deductible.  They must exceed 7.5% of your AGI to be deductible.  

If you are not sure whether you are using the standard deduction or itemized deductions on your return, see the information in the following TurboTax article to learn how to compare your choices and switch between them:
