General Information
- What is the form number? Form 1040 Schedule A
- What government agency is it filed with? The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
- What is the form name? Itemized Deductions
- What is this form about? Schedule A is a supplemental form associated with Form 1040 that U.S. taxpayers use to itemize deductions. Instead of taking the standard deduction, taxpayers can choose to itemize their deductions if it provides a greater tax benefit. On Schedule A, individuals can report medical and dental care expenses, taxes paid, interest paid (like mortgage interest), charitable contributions, casualty and theft losses, and certain other miscellaneous deductions. If itemizing is beneficial, the total from Schedule A replaces the standard deduction on the main Form 1040.
