Please Note: New tax law has basically doubled the standard deduction and eliminated the Misc. deduction entirely. Therefore, it is more difficult to exceed the standard deduction.
To deduct mortgage interest, the loan must be on your primary residence. No RV or boat interest deductions.
In some cases Schedule A deductions do not qualify for Federal but do result in a deduction for State.
