The limit for property tx is 10,000 for joint filers, for married filing separately it would 5,000. Also, your medical expenses incl. doctors, dentists, prescriptions, health insurance premiums, long term care premiums, medical equipment (canes, CPAP, etc.) glasses, hearing aids, chiropractor, orthodontist, and mileage, etc. If you haven't kept track of the mileage, you can type the address of the doctor, etc., into your browser and usually you will be able to get directions which will also give you the mileage. Just double it for the round trip and multiply it for the total number of trips you made to that address. Since July 1 the Fed rate is .22 per mile and it can add up fast. However, you may also find, that you take a lot of time gathering and inputting the information only to end up with the standard deduction. But it is worth the trouble because the standard deduction is not nearly as good for some states, like California, and when you input the itemization data for the Fed, even if you end up with the standard deduction, it will transfer over to the state where it may be higher than the states standard deduction. When you are working in TT and come across something you are unsure of, try googling it. Most time you will get something that will help you move on pretty fast, even when it is specific to TT (but not always). Good luck.
