It may be that the total of your itemized deductions is more than the allowable itemized deductions. For instance, you can only deduct $10,000 of state income/property taxes as itemized deductions on your federal return. Also, medical expenses are only deductible to the extent they are over 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income.
So, it may be that your allowable itemized deductions are less than your standard deduction, but your total itemized deductions are more.
Thomas,
There is another possibility, that your income is low and that your standard deduction is sufficient to eliminate it. Also, if that is all you withheld, that is all you would get back, apart from refundable credits.
