What is the purpose of IRS schedule A?
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.

What is an example of deduction in writing?
Just like in math, when you write, you can "deduce." Using the more familiar definition from those old math classes, it means to take away. This is also true in your writing. The idea is to come to a conclusion by removing all other otpions, like a process of elimination. You start with a large general idea and move to the exact detail that you want to prove by deducing. The standard deduction is a dollar amount that reduces the amount of income on which you are taxed. You cannot take the standard deduction if you claim itemized deductions. In some cases, your standard deduction can consist of two parts, the basic standard deduction and additional standard deduction amount, for age, or blindness, or both. In general, the basic standard deduction is adjusted each year for inflation and varies according to your filing status. The basic standard deduction of an individual who can be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return is the greater of: # An amount specified by law, or # The individual's earned income plus a specified amount (but the total cannot be more than the basic standard deduction for his or her filing status).
