Yeah, so this is part of why I like to fill out the forms myself now. I paid a one-time upfront time cost in learning about all the different rules around deductions and whatnot, but now I can pretty confidently know in advance whether I'll be able to itemize in a given year and what records to keep for the particular deductions I'll be taking.
