[VolvoGirl]

What year?  Line 9 on a 2020 1040 is your total income.

Itemizing is entering all your deductions separately rather than taking the standard deduction.    That will result in a tax savings for the very few taxpayers that have deduction more than the standard deduction - most taxpayer do not.

It does no good unless itemized deductions exceed standard.

2020 standard deductions

$12,400 Single
$18,650 Head of Household
$24,800 Married Jointly

Add an additional $1,300 for over age 65 or blind
This amount increases to $1,650 if the taxpayer is also unmarried.
