how does the itemized deduction get summarized?

[LindaS5247]

TurboTax summarizes itemized deductions by aggregating the eligible expenses—such as mortgage interest, state/local taxes (SALT), and charitable donations onto Schedule A. TurboTax will  compare this against the standard deduction, and automatically select the higher amount to maximize your refund.
