Question

Last year I didn’t itemize. This year I have about $1000 charitable donations. Should I file an itemized tax return or just a basic? I’m retired, single, little income.

The Standard Deduction is probably more than your itemized deductions.  So yes just use the basic version, Free Edition.  The Standard Deduction for Single is 12,950 + 1,750 for 65 and over or blind.
