OK, I just found a tax calculator that tells you if you should itemize or not, and turns out taking the standard deductions will be 2000.00 more. So we will not want to itemize. In your first response you said "you will report student loan interest, HSA, interest income, and dividend income whether you are itemizing deductions or not. You will not report the mortgage interest/property taxes paid on form 1098 if you are not itemizing." Then in your newest answer you said if you already know you dont have enough deductions to itemize then you really don't have to enter "them". To clairfy though, I do still have to Student Loan interest, HSA, interest income, and dividend income. The only thing I don't need to enter at that point is the Mortgage Interest and Property taxes Paid. I just want to be extra sure, and thank you for your help and patience with me.
