Every year I painstakingly answer dozens of questions that all relate to itemizing, only for TT to invariably find that I should take the standard deduction. I hate wasting the time, but don't want to accidentally miss something important by skipping over sections. I would like it if TT asked me early on whether I want to A) take the standard deduction, or B) to itemize. And, then when I select A, only to ask me the questions necessary for that. Is it already possible? Or is there an easy way that I should know about for which sections to skip because I don't want or need to itemize?
