Why dont I qualify for the property tax deduction at this time? TT says my best option is to itemize and I have already entered plenty of other deductions.

Even when I get to the end of the deductions section, TT notes that I said I owned a home but didn't enter any home expenses and leads me through that section again. But when I enter my property taxes, it still says that I don't qualify.
