Even if you have adequate proof, do you remove itemized deductions like charitable contributions, job search costs, casualty, health, etc. after seeing that the standard joint deduction is more in case you're audited or would you not bother with removing all deductions since they wouldn't go there?

If you're taking the standard deduction, there's no need to go back and delete your itemized deductions, because the Schedule A will not be filed as part of the tax return. So those entries go nowhere.

I realized I didn't pay for my mother's car registration so now it won't let me file my taxes without that section filled out or I'll have to pay $80 in order to file my taxes because it's saying that I itemized my taxes with the car registration.
