Is there a way to choose the standard deduction without having to enter all the data for itemizing?

I already know that the Standard Deduction is best for me and I don't have all the itemization data handy,

If you do not enter itemized deductions then the software will automatically use your standard deduction.  You are posting from Premier--if you are not going to itemize why are you using a higher version of the software than you need?

Thank you so much -- switching products may help several problems..  When I linked to TT from my credit union -- I think I remember that only two products were shown - and thought I selected the lesser of the two... but can't be sure. Anyway - thank you so much -- that REALLY will help by starting over with Deluxe.

Just started with Deluxe and was told I need to use Premiere because I had investment income. Hope I can just choose Standard Deduction without having to itemize.
