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.
Choose one or the other: Itemized deductions or the standard deduction. If your itemized deductions are greater than $6,200 for 2014, you should itemize ($6,300 for 2015) If your itemized deductions are less than $6,200 for 2014, you should take the standard deduction.
