They're correct; at least for the short term. A quick search tells me itemized deduction returns are only ~10% of tax returns right now, down from ~26% before the TCJA. So if you're MFJ you'd need ~$25,000 of home interest and other deductions before you'd even break even itemizing. Not counting the hassle of itemizing vs just claiming the standard deduction. But the higher standard deduction is set to expire in just 3 years (2025)[0], which will cut it in half. That may or may not get extended. So you may want to calculate if you'd be in the ~26% of filers who'd benefit from itemizing if it did expire.
