If you paid state income tax, you should have been able to deduct that at the very least (probably around 6k, or about the same as the standard deduction).

- Aloha 9y agowhich makes it not worth the paperwork effort to do so.
- mmanfrin 9y agoAre you kidding me? $6k deductions is about $2k in rebates. A $150 accountant fee would take care of any paperwork. Taxes aren't that fucking hard.
- Aloha 9y ago6k in deductions is equal to the standard deduction
- tzs 9y agoThe effort is something like filling in one line, adding up a handful of numbers, copying the result to another line, selecting which of two numbers is larger and copying that one to another line. That hardly even merits the word "effort"...and if you are using tax prep software instead of filling out the forms by hand it isn't even that...it's just entering one number in one field.
- Aloha 9y agowhy would you file itemized when your deductions are less than the standard deduction?
- cortesoft 9y agoI would always try to itemize my deductions, but every time the standard deduction always ended up being more.
