 Income tax 2022-2023, itemized deductions, home mortgage interest. Get ready and some coffee so we can stave off the government attack with income tax preparation. Well, maybe we can't stave them off, but we could at least slow them down a little bit, I think. Most of this information can be found in the instructions for Schedule A Taxure 2023, which you can find on the IRS website at iris.gov, iris.gov. Looking at the income tax formula, we're focused on what I would call the below the line deductions. More specifically, the itemized deductions, remembering the first half of the income tax formula is basically a funny income statement. Most income statements having income minus expenses resulting in net income, here having income minus various deductions resulting in taxable income. Remembering deductions for taxes are good.
