How do I change from an itemized return to the standard deductions?

You can tell the program to switch to standard.  Follow these steps:

  • Log into your account
  • Click Take Me to My Return Button
  • Select Federal Taxes
  • Click Deductions and Credits
  • Scroll to the bottom and click Wrap Up Tax Breaks
  • Program will run an analysis and you might get a few more questions
  • You should get to a screen entitled "We've Chosen Itemized Deductions for You" (see screenshot below)
  • Underneath there will be a small checkbox that says Change My Deductions
  • Click this and you will be able to change to Standard Deduction
