Missing Deductions from 2021 to 2022

[martoony]

Folks, 

Despite making the entries for deductions, section by section,  a fair number of them are not showing up for 2022. All of these items show up as zero for 2022:

• mortgage interest of 14,922 (refinanced) - shows as zero below for 2022
• property tax of 12,128 - shows as zero below for 2022
• charitable donations of $701 - shows as zero below for 2022
• car RTA of $69 - - shows as zero below for 2022
• sales tax of $2,952 - - shows as zero below for 2022

I am being "pushed" towards a standard deduction option, since the summary below shows zero instead of itemized amounts above...

Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks for your help!

You forgot that the state and local tax including property tax and sales tax is capped at $10K.   When you calculate it with that limit, you are below your standard deduction amount.

Thanks for your reply @xmasbaby0 !

Please set aside property tax and sales tax cap at $10K - totally valid point...

Any ideas as to where my $701 in charitable contributions may have gone?

I did enter the $701 amount; but it is not part of the "itemization" vs. "standard deduction" comparison.

Go to Forms mode and look at your Schedule A

Thanks again @xmasbaby0 !

I looked at Schedule A, then chose to "override" the standard deduction option, in favor of itemization.  The numbers below are complete, accurate, and reflect the $10,000 cap you mentioned in your first reply.

Bottom line? The $25,900 standard deduction beats my itemized deduction total by $277.
