When to Itemize: Maximizing Your Deductions
Itemizing your deductions can take a little more effort, but the payoff can be worth it if your deductible expenses exceed the standard deduction. Knowing when to itemize can mean significant savings on your tax bill.
You should consider itemizing if you have major expenses such as home mortgage interest, significant medical bills, charitable donations, or state and local taxes. If your total deductions exceed the standard deduction, itemizing will lower your taxable income and potentially your tax bill.
Itemizing requires more documentation, but it allows you to claim specific deductions that could reduce your tax burden. Some people might only itemize in years when they’ve had significant changes like buying a home or paying off large medical expenses.
Talk to a tax advisor to see if itemizing can benefit you in 2024.
