OOH! I've got one. My dh and I file married filing jointly every year. We have a pretty straight forward tax return every year...no stocks, retirement packages, etc. We always have taken the standard deduction of $7,500 but this year dh did a fair amount of travel for his job (which he was just laid off from). He drove our personal car and was not reimbursed by the company for mileage. We were wondering if we want to claim the mileage on our taxes if we have to itemize our deductions or if it is something we can claim in addition to our standard deduction. We figure that the mileage alone is around $1000 but if we have to itemize, we have no idea where/what the other deductions we can take are. Any help you could give would be great!
