It's very reasonable to take the standard deduction with other deductions and credits. The standard deduction only replaces some of them.
edit: It's also possible you file before things are reported to the IRS about you.
- LordDragonfang 3y agoAnd in each case those additional deductions apply to a small minority of people, and they are often things the IRS can probably already know. All of which you can choose to add with a question or two. You're missing the point, though - the IRS already has 90% of my data. Under no circumstances should I be having to re-enter my W-2, a document they already have on file, and stress about making errors in data entry.
