If the standard deduction is more than the total of all your itemized deductions (Schedule A), you will see the standard deduction on your tax return. The deduction for state and local taxes that is on Schedule A Line 5a is part of your total itemized deductions. The greater of the standard deduction or Total Schedule A itemized deductions will be reported on Form 1040 Line 40.
