Deductions & credits

How much are your Itemized Deductions?  The questions I've seen turn out that the Standard Deduction + the extra 300/600 for charity is more than your Itemized Deductions .  Check 1040 line 12a-c.  Also some deductions are now limited.

 

There is a max 10,000 limit (5,000 MFS) of property tax and state taxes "SALT".  SALT is State And Local Tax.  Which includes property tax, any state tax paid like for last year’s return and includes any state withholding from your W2s and any 1099s you have. And any taxes in W2 box 14 and 19 like SDI or VDI. You can only deduct up to 10,000 (5,000 MFS) for SALT State and Local Taxes.
