    Hi Valorie,

    The program will typically take whichever deduction is higher - standard or itemized. You can review the comparison on the Check Return tab, by looking at the Federal Income Tax Summary:

    If your client has to itemize, or if you just want to print the Schedule A to see it, you can go to the Itemized Deductions (Sch A) input screen and select the "Less Common Scenarios" section along the top:
