For federal it is only if you itemize so your itemized deductions would have to exceed the standard deduction for it to be valuable: Standard deductions for 2017 Single - $6,350 add $1,550 if age 65 or olderMarried Filing Separately - $6,350 add $1,250 if age 65 or olderMarried Filing Jointly - $12,700 add $1,250 for each spouse age 65 or olderHead of Household - $9,350 add $1,550 if age 65 or older

Question

Do I have to include my 1098 information on my free edition taxes? I mean do I owe or get back more because of this form or is it something you only use when itemizing?
