Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Here's how you can tell which deduction you took on last year's (2021) federal tax return:

  • If the amount on Line 12a of last year's Form 1040 ends with a number other than 0, you itemized
    • If this amount ends with 0, it's likely you took the Standard Deduction
    • If this amount ends with 00 or 50, you probably took the Standard Deduction
  • If your return included Schedule A, you itemized
