I have just started to enter my w2 info

[VolvoGirl]

And?  Are you having a problem?

[barharbor86]

Yes, I am having a problem.  On top of the original problem of turbo tax having calculated my itemized without my entering any info yet....they only posted the first part of my question.  

[barharbor86]

So, how are they calculating my itemized deductions without my entering them yet?

[VolvoGirl]

Please give more details.  What is your full question?

[VolvoGirl]

Oh, it starts out by giving you the Standard Deduction until your itemized deductions are more.

For 2020 the standard deduction amounts are:

Single 12,400 + 1,650 for 65 and over or blind (14,050)

HOH 18,650 + 1,650 for 65 and over or blind

Joint 24,800 + 1,300 for each 65 and over or blind

Married filing Separate 12,400 + 1,300 for 65 and over or blind
