...turns out the medical deductions wouldn't even help me.
without other deductions like mortgage payments or something like that, taking the standard deduction is more beneficial than just the medical. i feel like i tricked myself to go into the temple of doom and it wasn't even necessary.
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207-1273, written in 1230

Not to worry... many of us are IN the tax temple of doom...no need to join us. Think of you every day.
