Itemized deduction discrepancy

1040 line 12 shows itemized deductions of 27,400. When I quick zoom to schedule A line 17, itemized deductions are 26,824. How is this possible? I can only conclude that this is an error in TurboTax.

Over 65, additional $1300 per person. Therefore, 24,800 + 1300 + 1300 = 27,400. Correct?

Thanks.
