If you have no dependents, no real estate and hopefully no high medical bills, you're probably going to be better off taking the standard deduction. You typically have to have a high amount of deductions (thousands of dollars worth) before it makes more sense to itemize. I think most people begin to itemize when they buy a house & suddenly have a ton of interest expense - I know that's what did it for me.
