You can view which deduction you are currently receiving by taking the following steps:
1.) On the left-hand side of your screen, click Tax Tools
2.) Click Tools
3.) On the window that pops up, click View Tax Summary
4.) On the left-hand side of your screen, click Preview My 1040
Your deduction amount will be on Line 8
TurboTax will automatically use the deduction that offers the highest tax benefit, but you can switch between the Standard Deduction and Itemized Deductions to see how the change impacts your return by taking the following steps:
If you go to Deductions & Credits, click I'll choose what I work on, and then scroll down to click Done with Deductions.
You will have to click through a few screens, such as the summary screen for your deductions and credits.
The Standard/Itemized deduction screen should come up soon after, along with a small box to check if you'd like to change your deduction from standard to itemized.
Lastly, if you end up using Itemized Deductions and your Mortgage Interest amount is still showing as 0, I would go back through the Mortgage Interest section in Deductions and Credits and verify that you indicated that your loan is secured.
