    Is there a reason the program will use standard deduction on 400K MAGI when the itemized deduction amount largely exceeds the standard amount?

    I have a single filer- earning over $400K with over 26K in itemized deductions but the program continues to use the standard (12k) even though her status is set as single, I have enter 1 to itemized under deductions.

    You checked the box to take charitable above the line, which forces the standard deduction. Uncheck that box.
