Deductions & credits

You may be getting back the standard deduction this year rather than the itemized deduction. You can check your 1040 preview by going to tax tools>tools>some things you can do>view tax summary. You will see a summary of your 1040 and verify in the line that says Itemized/standard deduction. The standard deductions amounts this year are  $12,400 for individuals and married couples filing separately, $18,650 for heads of household, and $24,800 for married couples filing jointly and surviving spouses. if you see any of these amounts in the Itemized/standard deduction line, then you know you are receiving a standard deduction. Any other amounts will likely indicate you are receiving the itemized deduction. Don't be too concerned if it doesn't show up in the comparison screen just as long you are receiving the best deduction you deserve.
