But I think that itemizing in general won't stop you from filing. Mine was itemized and it's already been E-Filed and accepted...

Also, remember that your filing status may affect things like Flex Spending accounts and other health insurance, savings plan, and other benefits or accounting. This is the advantage of having tax software (which you may need to BUY) -- that you can run numbers and calculate this sort of thing. Stores like Staples will probably have big sales somewhere around April 16. You probably got this, but "PowerPencil" means using a hard copy form with a pencil and lots of erasers. It was fun for me after my wife and I got married to get my (then new) in-laws to understand that they couldn't claim my wife as a dependent anymore! LOL The only other time I had fun with taxes was after winning money from a TV show. Extra state tax forms, check to the feds, and a child born that year. Fun!
