I cannot get TurboTax 2024 to select itemized deductions. It only allows standard deduction even thought I have itemized over the amount.

I cannot get TurboTax 2024 to select itemized deductions. It only allows standard deduction even thought I have itemized over the amount.

TurboTax will automatically use the itemized deduction amount IF the amount is greater than the standard deduction for your filing status.

Note that some itemized deductions are limited -

Only your total medical expenses that are greater than 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) can be deducted.

For the 2024 tax year, the state and local tax (SALT) deduction is limited to $10,000 for most filers and $5,000 for married taxpayers filing separately,
This limit, often called the "SALT cap," applies to the combined total of state and local income (or sales) and property taxes.
Donations to public charities are generally limited to 60% of your AGI.
 

Standard deductions for 2024

Single - $14,600 add $1,950 if age 65 or older
Married Filing Separately - $14,600 add $1,550 if age 65 or older
Married Filing Jointly - $29,200 add $1,550 for each spouse age 65 or older
Head of Household - $21,900 add $1,950 if age 65 or older
