Itemized vs standard deduction for self employed individual

[taxquestions1029]

Hi QB community! TurboTax has recommended to use itemized deductions rather than take the standard deduction, even though the standard deduction would be higher. This is for a scenario in which there are no state income taxes.

I'm trying to make sense of this: What would be the reasons why it would make sense to itemize deductions rather than take the standard deduction in this scenario?

what is your taxable income? is it zero? that could explain it.
