I entered all my info & none of the deductions appear on the comparison to 2016. It gives me the standard deduction but my deductions are more than the standard amt.

  When entering my investment expense it states it must exceed $2200 and mine does.  On another item it states I must itemize to get that deduction.  I think I am itemizing   I have been using Turbo Tax for yearssssss and never had this problem.   Please advise, Thank you.

Take a look at the instructions below to go to a page in your return where you can verify whether you are using the Standard Deduction or Itemized Deductions.  When you land on that page, be sure to check the box labeled Change My Deduction and you will be able to see the numerical comparison between the two choices and then pick the one you want to use.
