Not all itemized deductions translate 1 for 1 on Schedule A.  The most notable are medical expenses, for which only the amount in excess of 7.5% count.  And, new and wonderful for 2018, your state and local property tax deduction is limited to $10,000.  And finally, also new and wonderful for 2018, you are no longer able to deduct unreimbursed employee business expenses (except in very rare circumstances).

My total itemized deductions is $35773.  My contributions are $12004.  The data entry page correctly shows $12004.  But the Deductions summary page shows $0 contributions.  It's not carrying my contributions to the summary page or using them to calculate total deductions.  Is there any way to get support from Intuit?
