Schedule A of the 1040 individual tax return is where a taxpayer will list itemized expenses if they wish to itemize. The 1040 tax return allows taxpayers the option of taking a standard deduction or to use the amount listed on their Schedule A (Itemized Expenses). Less and less people use Schedule A as the standard deduction is increased every year. With low mortgage rates most people no longer have enough itemized expenses to exceed the standard deduction. Since you can use either the standard deduction or the itemized expenses, you want to take the one that allows you to reduce your taxable income the most. This has left more and more people better off to take the standard deduction.
