Deductions

My 2020 AGI is 1/5 of what it normally is and with the standard deduction i will pay $0 federal and state tax.

Question is will I be able to carry over the $45,000 worth of deductions (or a portion thereof) from 2020 to2021 OR will they just be lost?

Deductions

Of the itemized deductions that you did not use in 2020, only charitable donations (if any) can be carried forward to future years if they exceed 60% of your adjusted gross income.

 

Other deductions such as Medical expenses, mortgage interest or state and local taxes are lost if not used.
