Ok, I think I'm almost fully understanding. Are you saying that if one ends up with the standard deduction, that 1)mortgage interest and property taxes are nonetheless deductible, 2) mortgage interest (but not property tax) is nonetheless deductible, 3) property tax (but not mortgage interest) is nonetheless deductible, or 4) neither are deductive. Sorry; a bit of a tax beginner still. Thanks for sticking in there for me.
