change from standard deduction to itemized ddeduction

[taxgemin]

Hi, don't know why my turbo tax changed my deduction way from itemized to standard deduction while I thought itemized deduction may be better for me as I have home loan and property tax, etc. . Anyone  know how to change the deduction way in Turbotax? thanks!

Unless you force it, TurboTax chooses the larger deduction.

You can check the actual amount of itemized deductions by using the Search Topics for "itemized deductions, choosing" (under "My Account, Tools" in the online versions). Click on "Change my deduction". That will display the actual amount of itemized deductions vs. the standard deduction. (Be sure to uncheck "Change my deduction" after checking it so you do not lock in the wrong deduction.
