Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you are correct in assuming that your mortgage interest, plus SALT, plus donations would typically be the total of your itemized deductions.  

 

That being said, go back through your mortgage interest section and double-check that you have indicated that the mortgage is secured by your residence.  This is something that is easily missed and will automatically make your mortgage interest not deductible.  

 

Also take a look at the following TurboTax article which will give you more information about deducting mortgage interest and instances where it might not be fully deductible:  Can I deduct my mortgage?
