This is what turbotax says about my deductions: "your itemized deductions of $38,096" but turbotax refuses to allow me to change from the standard deduction

Every time i try to change it tells me that the standard deduction is the right thing for me. Is there a way to everride the AI choice of standard deduction?

How do I change from the standard deduction to itemized (or vice-versa)?
