Total Itemized Deductions initially higher but had to correct Schedule A so it's now less than the Standard Deduction however Line 12 on 1040 still shows a higher amount

Total Itemized Deductions from Schedule A was initially higher than the Standard Deduction however I had to correct Schedule A so that the Total Itemized Deductions from Schedule A is now lower than the Standard Deduction of $30,700 yet Line 12 of Form 1040 remains at $32,300. Is this a bug?

There is a way to specify using one deduction method over the other regardless of which one is better. See the instructions in the following TurboTax help article to verify which method you want to use for your return.

How do I change from the standard deduction to itemized (or vice-versa)?
