Questions about this
When does itemizing make sense?
Generally, when your deductible expenses add up to more than the standard deduction for your filing status.
Why can't I enter all of my state tax or medical costs?
Some deductions have limits. State and local taxes are capped, and medical expenses count only above a share of your income. Enter what you can deduct after those limits.
