On part X of the federal information worksheet under standard deduction/itemized deduction check the first box that says itemize even if itemized deductions are less than the standard deduction.

The program will default to whichever is higher, itemized or standard. You cant just type a number at the bottom of Sch A, you need to fill out Sch A and it will put the total in the bottom box.

If you want to itemize even if the standard deduction is higher, I think theres a box to check somewhere on the Federal Information worksheet. (Ive never had to check it, but I know Ive seen it)

Yes I am aware of the default. I wish to optimize since the deductions are close enough that I will likely benefit more on the state return. The box is at the bottom of Schedule A input as I stated. It does not allow input. Does anyone have an answer to allow me to itemize?
