Would I be better off filing standard or itemize

No one here would know that. Just enter your information into TurboTax and the program will tell you what you should use.

It depends which gives you a bigger refund or less of an amount you owe. 

In TurboTax, enter all your itemized deductions. Even if your federal standard deduction is higher than your itemized deductions, your state (if you file a state return), may allow you a bigger deduction it you itemize.

Please see the TurboTax article: Standard Deduction vs. Itemized Deductions: Which is Better?

@user866251   If you have enough Itemized Deductions that will give you the best refund or pay less taxes then the program will pick Itemized Deductions for you.

If your Itemized Deductions are not enough to give you a better refund or pay less taxes, then the program will pick the Standard Deduction for you.
