To itemize, search for itemized deductions, choosing in your TurboTax program. Be sure to use this exact term, including the comma and space.

Then, in the search results, click the "Jump to" link. This will take you straight to a screen where you can change your deduction.

Follow the steps below to change your decision about whether you want to itemized deductions (or have to use that method).

Sign into your TurboTax account > Click Tax Tools from the left-side menu.
Select Tools from the drop-down menu.
Click Topic Search, type Standard Deduction and click Go.
On the next screen, Select change my deduction at the bottom of the screen (see image below)

Tubo tax Home and bussiness version, personal computer, not online. This is the worst version I ever used. I always used itemized deduction, and it changed me to standard deduction. Please tell me step by step how to change it back to itemaized. I searched around, and can't find a solution working. I went to" Tools", "topic LIST", and found out nowhere to type in. Please help.

Thank you so much for your response. However, there is no "topic search" menu on my turbo tax. Please check the picture below

This should get you to it.

From the screenshot you posted...

Select Deductions & Credits near the top of your screen.
When asked how you want to enter your deductions and credits, click the button on the right, I'll choose what I work on.
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the Your 2020 Deductions & Credits screen and click Done with Deductions.
Continue through the interview until you see The Standard [or Itemized] Deduction is Right for You!
On that screen, check the box Change my deduction to see the dollar amount for each deduction.
Click Continue to apply any changes.
