If you have home mortgage interest and real estate taxes, then you should complete the questionnaires in TurboTax to determine how much is tax-deductible.
TurboTax will add up all of your allowable itemized deductions and compare the total to your standard deduction. You will be able to use whichever is larger.
If you find that you will be able to benefit from using itemized deductions this year, and you missed entering your mortgage interest and real estate taxes for 2022, you may wish to consider amending your 2022 return.
There are times when you should amend your return and times when you shouldn't. Here are some common situations that call for an amendment:
- You realized you missed out on claiming a tax deduction or credit.
- You accidentally claimed the wrong tax filing status.
- You need to add or remove a dependent.
- You forgot to claim taxable income on your tax return.
- You realize you claimed an expense, deduction, or credit that you weren't eligible to claim.
See this article and this one for more information on filing an amended return with TurboTax.
