<prompt> Human: More info: My wife homemaker, daughter student and I live in an apartment no real estate taxes and my daughter turned 18 last January no child credit so I upped my witholding to 3 so I could get the most money back in my paychecks. Im expecting almost no refund in my tax return this year unless I come with a few tricks or tips. Is it worth itemizing? Or am I way off base?  <response>: In order for it to be worth itemizing, you would have to have more deductions than the standard deductions. If you use Turbo Tax or similar software, it will ask you all the relevant questions and tell you which is better.
