Why is proseris itemized section (Schedule A) not adding up correctly?

[jheathhuggins]

1.) Client filing single.

2.) Medical dental expense total $4487 line 4

3.) Total real estate and property taxes is $1,781 line 7

4.) Total mortgage interest $25 Line 10

5.) Total cash contribution with details to charity $6740 line 11

6.) Total inputs is susposed to be $13,033, the line 17 states $6,293.  Then back on form 1040 on line 8 it states $13,600.

Why is that and what can i do to correct this?  Is it program issue?

What is....Client is single and age 65? 

Bonus question: Taxpayer contributions are being limited due to income.

[jheathhuggins]

Yes single and over 65.  The problem is that the line 8 of 1040 that pulls from itemized statement is 13,600 and the max total deduction is susposed to only be $13,033, which is 567 more than max possible total itemized.

That's the standard deduction for someone Single and 65 or older.

[garman22]

Yes, as Lisa stated.

Thank you very much.  I am looking directly at standard deduction info on 1040 and forgot about the additional deduction.  Been long day today.  Thank you all very much.  Still trying to get used to different format from old one.
