Why insist on standard deduction when charitable is greater

itemized deduction $20000 more than standard but turbo uses standard on my return why?

If your total itemized deductions exceeded you standard deduction, you should automatically receive the Itemized deduction.

If you did not receive a proper deduction, we can assist you.  

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the Your 2021 Deductions & Credits screen and click Done with Deductions. Continue through the interview until you see The Standard [or Itemized] Deduction is Right for You! On that screen, check the box Change my deduction to see the dollar amount for each deduction.

There are limits to some itemized deductions. For example, only the amount of medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of Adjusted Gross Income can be deducted. The amount of property and sales or state income tax deduction is limited to $10,000. Could either of these limitations be affecting your deductions?
