I'm using TurboTax online and I just did my taxes. Earlier in the process before adding in the the extra stuff, it gave me an estimate of what I'll be getting.
I added my mortgage interest, insurance, etc.. since I bought a house late 2014, and the number at the end was the same exact amount it quoted me at the beginning.
I even added work expenses such as work boots for work, vehicle registration since I live in Nevada.
Did I just mess up? I didn't complete it yet, but I"ve gone through it to make sure I did it right, but at the end, it keeps giving me the same number.
I read you could get 100% of your property taxes and mortgage interest if your home is less than $500k and mine certainly is.

if the stuff you added is less than the standard deduction it just uses that, you dont get both its either or
