I'm a combo of lazy and impatient. I don't have all of my tax info, yet I know it'll be very close to last year's numbers, so I repeated last year's numbers in the itemized areas. I'm being told I should use the Standard Deduction.
My question is this: Does the IRS still require me to report mortgage interest, property tax paid, charitable giving, etc. if it's not being used for itemizing? I don't think it's necessary, but I don't want to be questioned if it's missing.
Thanks...
