Hi, I'm Arye from TurboTax with some helpful information about itemized tax deductions.

The IRS gives you two different options when it comes to claiming deductions on your tax return. You can take the standard deduction or you can itemize your deductions.

The standard deduction is a flat amount set by the IRS for each filing status that you can deduct from your taxable income. The standard deduction is simple, but may not allow you to maximize your tax savings.

Itemized tax deductions are individual expenses you can claim to decrease your taxable income. Added up together, they can add up to more than your standard deduction and potentially save you a lot on your taxes.

There are a wide range of deductible expenses such as mortgage interest, state and local property and income taxes, medical expenses and charitable contributions. Total your eligible expenses up and compare that total to the standard deduction.

You should only itemize your deduction if it ends up higher than the standard deduction.

If you decide to itemize, you'll need to fill out a Schedule A attachment with your tax return. Note that you'll need to file on a standard Form 1040, as forms 1040EZ and 1040A don’t allow itemized deductions.
With TurboTax, we’ll ask simple questions and fill out the right forms for you.
