Question

Turbo tax said I should use the itemized deduction because it is larger but it is giving me the standard deduction instead. Is there a glitch?

It depends. 

 

If you have a state tax return and your combined tax liability is lower claiming the standard deduction on both your Federal and your state return, then this may be correct. 

 

Most state returns require the same election itemized or standard deduction as was claimed on your Federal tax return.
