If you claim the standard deduction because it requires less documentation and paperwork, the IRS has something to say to you. They are adding a new form for those who take the standard deduction, but who also claim some of the optional additional deductions like real estate taxes. This will likely apply to those who have a small or no mortgage interest deduction, but do own a home (retired individuals generally). So much for tax code simplification I guess.
