I don’t understand the tax and interest deductions worksheet

Per Expert @VictoriaD75:

 

"The tax and interest deduction worksheet shows the itemized deductions claimed for state and local taxes, including real estate taxes, and mortgage interest.

 

You would only itemize if your total deductions were greater than the standard deduction for your filing status.

 

However, these deductions can still be listed on your return. The worksheet helps calculate the deductions and determine if the standard deduction or itemized create the best tax benefit for you."

 

You can Delete the Tax and Interest Worksheet  from your return if you don't want to report these itemized deductions.
