Everyone keeps trying to make this a political post when it is not.
OP - there have been at least 2 CPA's that have commented in this thread - I am number 3. Follow our advice over the yahoo's that don't have experience in this matter. Go talk to a proper CPA or at least a tax professional in your area. There are many variables that go into this determination that you are not detailing out in your posts here. Any half way decent tax pro can run some calculations and come up with the exact number of deductions that will best suit your individual situation. They will likely not charge you very much for this service.
