Once you have entered all of your information into TurboTax it automatically chooses the option that is giving you the biggest tax break

For additional information on itemizing read Tax Deduction Wisdom: Should you Itemize.

The following FAQ article distinguishes the difference between itemizing and taking the standard deduction.
