Itemizing means adding up individual deductible expenses — such as mortgage interest, state and local taxes (capped), and charitable gifts — and deducting the total. It only makes sense when that total exceeds the standard deduction. High-cost homeowners and large donors are the most likely to benefit.
A homeowner with large mortgage interest and property taxes may itemize instead of taking the standard deduction.
