Form 8960 Line 9B Blank if Not Itemizing?

Yes, I agree the IRS wording is ambiguous at best, but its wording does suggest that you can only claim these on Form 8960 if you itemize your deductions. No, there is no provision for overidding this and even if there was, there is no clear basis for this decision and could result in an audit.
