Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It depends. While the 2019 Alabama Form 40 Tax Book page 8 does allow you to calculate which deduction is higher, standard or itemized, be sure to verify that the Charitable Deductions reported on Form 8283 are large enough to make this a better option. Please see page 9 for the standard deduction table to confirm.
