My medical deductions are more than 7.5% of the AGI, why Turbo Tax Deluxe will give me the option to itemize?

It only gave me the option to use standard deduction, but the medical totaled over 4000 after the 7.5%

Although your medical deductions exceed 7.5% of your AGI, your total itemized deductions must exceed the standard deduction according to the table below:

Filing Status                  Standard Deduction

Single                                    $6,350

Married Filing Jointly             $12,700

Married Filing Separately      $6,350

Head of Household               $9,350

Qualifying Widow(er)            $12,700

However, if you prefer to itemize, follow the steps below:

• While in your return, click Deductions & Credits.
• Proceed through the interview.  When you're notified that We've chosen the standard deduction (for example, see screenshot).
• Click Change my deduction.
