Standard deduction

Program is asking me to list itemized deductions. I want to use our standard deduction instead. How do I get program to do that?

There should have been a question about forcing the standard deduction at the beginning. There is another way:

Go to Federal Taxes > Deductions & Credits > and continue through all the questions.

At the end of the deductions interview, you will get a screen that says "We've Chosen Itemized Deductions for You"

At the bottom of that screen, you can override to standard deduction.
