    Why is the system not using Itemized deductions even though it is higher than standard deduction. Returns keeps defaulting to standard deduction

    I don't use ProConnect.  Is there a box somewhere that can be checked, "Use standard deduction even if less than itemized" ?   And it was checked in error.
