Unlike the standard deduction, itemized deductions result in different taxable income amounts from person to person. Those who qualify for the standard deduction have the leeway to choose the itemized route; however, individuals who are not eligible for the standard deduction can only itemize their tax deductions.
Taxpayers may choose either itemized deductions or the standard deduction, whichever results in the lesser amount of tax payable.[1] The standard deduction is available to US citizens and aliens who are resident for tax purposes and who are individuals, married persons, and heads of household.
