Deductions & credits

You may have enough deductions to be able to itemized thus receiving the standard deduction. The second possibility is that you may have reduced your taxable income to zero with all of your itemized deductions. To see if you are receiving the standard deduction or itemize deductions: 

  1. Log into Turbo Tax
  2. Go to federal>deductions and credits
  3. Scroll through the screens until you get to the screenshot shown below. If it says you are receiving the standard deduction, you did not have enough deductions to itemize. If it says you are receiving itemized deductions, then your itemized deductions exceeded your standard deduction.
