Schedule A Deductions

[CranberryAlice]

Do you have to claim all eligible deductions on Schedule A?  My mom has a very high nursing home bill and that will bring her tax liability quickly down to zero.

Yes, you have to itemize to deduct medical expenses, if that is what you mean by "claim all deductions on Schedule A".

No, I am asking if I have to list all eligible itemized deductions...like donations, property taxes, etc.  Or can I just put down her medical deductions and call it a day? Much simpler and faster.
