You should itemize deductions if your allowable itemized deductions are greater than your standard deduction or if you must itemize deductions because you can't use the standard deduction. You may be able to reduce your tax by itemizing deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040), Itemized Deductions.

Key Takeaways. Itemized deductions help some taxpayers lower their annual income tax bill more than the standard deduction would provide. A taxpayer must choose either the itemized deduction or the standard deduction - they can not elect to take both.

The standard deduction is the better deal for most taxpayers and will result in a lower tax bill. However, if you had a certain life event or unexpected expense occur in 2022, such as a large medical bill or purchasing a home, itemizing your deductions instead could save you more money.

Itemized deductions allow individuals to subtract designated expenses from their taxable income and can be claimed in lieu of the standard deduction. Itemized deductions include those for state and local taxes, charitable contributions, and mortgage interest.

An itemized deduction is an expense that can be subtracted from your adjusted gross income (AGI) to reduce your taxable income and lower the amount of taxes you owe.
