Question

This is what turbotax says about my deductions: "your itemized deductions of $38,096" but turbotax refuses to allow me to change from the standard deduction

Every time i try to change it tells me that the standard deduction is the right thing for me. Is there a way to everride the AI choice of standard deduction?

You can change the deduction you use in the Deductions and credits section. ‌See the following TurboTax help article for instructions depending on the version of the program you are using:

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