Itemized or standard deduction?

If your taxable income is 0 then you would get back what you paid in and that's it. Do it the simplest way possible because it's not going to change your return..

 

With an itemized deduction you have to have quite a bit to make it worth while.
I'm a Ptin level 2 certified tax preparer and have been for a few years. Almost all the audits I've ever seen happen were directly related to misuse or misappropriation regarding itemization of expenses.
In short, its a huge pain in the ### and unless you have over several thousand dollars in expenses and even a few thousand in capital losses, I'd stay well away from itemizing.
