why does the standard deduction go up when my expensive are higher then 24000.?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
If you are adding expenses and seeing the number increase above $24,000, the program switched you from Standard Deduction to Itemized Deduction. You can claim one or the other, not both, but they are both reported on line 8 on your tax return.
The Standard Deduction will not increase when you add Real Estate Taxes or Mortgage Interest, but your Itemized Deductions will.
