The sum of all my federal tax deductions (home mortgage and real estate taxes mostly) is a lot less than this year's standard deductions (27000). It appears that I should not even bother to list these deductions, meaning that I would have to declare that I do not have a home - because there is no other way to say "I do not want to itemize my deductions".
Is this assessment accurate? Or is there a way to simply state "No itemized deductions" at the beginning of the form, somewhere?
