Did I itemize last year?

Here's how you can tell which deduction you took on last year's federal tax return:

  • If the amount on Line 12a of last year's Form 1040 ends with a number other than 0, you itemized.

    • If this amount ends with 0, it's likely you took the Standard Deduction.

    • If this amount ends with 00 or 50, you probably took the Standard Deduction.

  • If your return included Schedule A, you itemized.
