Can You Write Off Deductions without itemizing?
Short answer: Without itemizing you can still deduct HSA and IRA contributions, student loan interest, educator expenses, half of SE tax, and the new 2026 tips, overtime, car loan interest, senior, and charity deductions.
These are above-the-line or Schedule 1-A deductions.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a simple log of business purpose; compare itemizing to the standard deduction each year.
