I entered my vehicle Registration fees like I do every year. After doing the Federal portion of my taxes on the Deductions page it shows I entered the amount $283 for this year, it also shows last year was $283. I used the standard deduction both years and after the Federal portion is finished it shows Reviewed your 2022 and 2023 Deductions and Credits. However on this page it shows 2023 vehicle Registration fees as $0 while showing last year was at $283. It was entered and I didn't do anything different than last year, I was wondering why it comes up $0? Is this a glitch?

No, the summary before the review shows everything entered, the summary after the review shows deductions taken. So, if you took the standard deduction, it would show $0 for any itemized deduction. You can switch to itemized deductions to see that amount included - - but make sure to change it back.

Just don't see why it is shown different from the previous year. I did standard deduction both times. I did not do itemized deductions.

It is not going to show after reviewing because you took the standard deduction. Car registration fees are only deductible if you itemize. Since you did not itemize, it does not get sent with your tax return. You are looking at information sent with your tax return. If you had medical expenses entered, those too, would not be included.

Same thing just happened to me.

If you took the standard deduction, TurboTax does not include your itemized deductions. If you are itemizing and the amount is not being included, then there is a problem, but if you are taking the standard deduction, your car registration does not factor in. Are you taking the standard deduction? @ehomich01

Schedule A is where you will see itemized deductions - and Schedule A is not included with returns that elect the standard deduction. If you switch to itemizing, you will see your car registration fees on Schedule A.
