Yes. These are part of itemized deductions. 

 

If you are trying to determine if you itemize versus taking the standard deduction, you would only itemize if your total deductions exceed the standard deduction for your filing status.

 

Itemized deductions include medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of AGI, mortgage interest, state and local taxes including real estate taxes (capped at $10,000), and charitable contributions.

 

You can review the deductions in the Deductions & Credits section of TurboTax and see if anything pertains to your personal situation. TurboTax will assign the deduction that provides the best tax benefit for you.
