I understand the increase, but our net deductions exceeds the standard. Either way, I should be able to choose between the standard and itemized deductions. When I choose itemized, the summary shows zero for mortgage interest. The other itemized categories are populated with the exception of the mortgage interest category.
The recent changes in 2018 may have resulted in the standard deduction being more advantageous to you. Starting in 2018 the standard deduction is as follows:
Single/Married Filing Separate- $12,000
Head of Household- $18,000
Married Filing Joint- $24,000
Based on your filing status above, are your itemized deductions higher? If your standard deduction is higher TurboTax would utilize that vs itemizing.
I selected "itemized dedications". The summary lists all deductions with the exception of the mortgage interest.
Ok your mortgage interest may be limited if your mortgage is more than $750,000 or $375,000 (Married Filing Separately).
