When I entered my mortgage interest I got a message telling me the standard deduction was better, but it is still showing me using my interest.
Use the steps below to go
to the area where you can see the comparison between standard and itemized
deductions. In this section you will be
able to choose which option you want to use for your return.
On the top row of the
TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax
locate the search box in the upper right corner)
This opens a box where you
can type in “itemized deductions, choosing” (be sure to enter exactly as
shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded
TurboTax, click Find)
The search results will
give you an option to “Jump to itemized deductions, choosing”
Click on the blue “Jump
to itemized deductions, choosing” link
