What are the differences between claiming a mortgage deduction versus a standard deduction on your taxes?
Claiming a mortgage deduction allows you to deduct the interest you paid on your mortgage from your taxable income, potentially reducing your tax liability. A standard deduction is a fixed amount set by the government that reduces your taxable income without the need for itemizing specific expenses like mortgage interest. The choice between the two depends on whether your total itemized deductions, including mortgage interest, exceed the standard deduction amount.

If you have numerous itemized deductions such as mortgage interest, charitable contributions, etc., it may make sense for you to itemize your deductions instead of using the standard deduction for your tax filing status. If you itemize and it totals over the standard deduction then itemizing is the way to go or the other way around if the standard deduction is larger.
