You may not have had as much in your itemized deductions as what the government gave you, for your filing status.

Here are the amounts from the IRS.

$12,000 Single or Married Filing Jointly
$18,000 Head of Household
$24,000 Married Filing Jointly or Qualifying Widow(er)
$+1,800 Extra for blind or over 65
