The repetitive deductions every year may be mortgage interest, real estate taxes, IRA contributions, and charitable contributions, medical expenses, various taxes, that safe deposit box you keep, and if you are required to pay certain expenses, like alimony, for a home office, travel, mileage & many more depending upon case to case.
Turbo tax software not even offers you free filing but also while you are using the software, it asks you certain questions & checklist on the basis of which it gives a quote of estimated refund/ payment as the case may be., it tries to maximize the refund or reduce the payment needed to be done by reminding you any of the deductions you may qualify but not claimed by you. And by free e filing, you get your money saved too.
