I itemized on Federal, why didn't the state itemized deductions?

My state itemized deductions is $12,000 after subtracting state and local taxes, but the desktop deluxe program chose standard deduction.

Standard Deduction for tax year 2024 is 

Single     14,600

Married Filing Jointly     29,200

Married Filing Separately     21,900

 

Are your Itemized Deductions more than the Standard Deduction?

Is your state tax paid being limited to 10,000?

 

Are you filing as a Dependent?

Beyond that...no one can hazard a guess....since you didn't indicate WHICH State you are asking about. 

 

Each state has entirely separate rules, and someone with that state's software might know what's going on, once they see which state you are talking about.

It is New York state. I found the problem. The medical deductible for NYS is 10% and that knocked the amount to be under the total itemized deductible.
