Itemized/standard deduction

[ch2018263]

How do I get rid of an itemized/standard deduction on my taxes? I have answered no to all the questions asked in deductions and credits. It has taken $900 off of my return.

Every return takes the Standard Deduction OR Itemized Deductions.

They both lower your taxable income but you can only use one or the other. 

They would not lower your refund, did it lower your tax? If your refund went down, there is something else affecting the refund.
