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.

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.
