Mortgage interest and state income taxes can easily get you well over the standard deduction for single people.

Same here, mortgage interest puts me over the threshold (and single)

When I don't make as much in a year, I go through all of the same exact steps just to see the standard deduction is better :D . It's a nice walk down memory lane though.

Mortgage interest is the big one.

Fair enough. I don't have any longer.
