Itemized vs.Standard Deductions - BookkeeperLive

When filing taxes, you get to choose between a standard deduction or itemized deductions. The standard deduction is a set dollar amount based on your filing status. Itemized deductions, on the other hand, let you subtract specific expenses from your income, like mortgage interest or charitable donations. You should itemize if the total of your itemized deductions is greater than the standard deduction. This takes more effort, but can save you more money on taxes.
