Can Form 2220 Deductions 2023-2024

All right, everybody, welcome to tonight's presentation. I've got six o'clock Eastern here on the dot, so we're gonna go ahead and get started. Before we dive in, first off, I want to say welcome. Tonight, we're gonna be talking about itemized deductions versus standard deductions. You know, I think back to my college days, and whenever they'd start a lecture, they'd always tell you what class you're in to make sure you're in the right place. But you guys have made it here on your own, yeah? You probably know what you're here for. We're talking about Schedule A deductions tonight versus standard deductions. We're going to be running through about 40 slides of information here, where we'll be really diving into the topic in detail and really getting down to the granular level of the differences between the two and the details associated with each of these deductions that are available out there. Tonight, I'm joined by Derek North. He's an enrolled agent here at Federal Direct and one of our premier account reps. For those of you that are regulars to the webinars, he's very familiar to you. And those of you at Federal Direct Partner offices, you've probably picked his brain on a number of occasions on some of your higher-level tax questions that you might have. But tonight, he's going to be taking the lead on this. He's done most of the homework behind it. But before we officially get in here, just a little bit of housekeeping, so to speak. We do have a couple of polling questions that I will be asking you throughout the presentation. There will be two questions that we will have, and those polling questions, I guess I should say, it doesn't really matter if you get them right...
