If your deductible personal and family expenses, as defined by the IRS, add up to more than the standard deduction for your filing status, and you have the records to prove them, you should itemize your deductions instead of claiming the standard deduction.
To do that, you'll have to file Form 1040 or 1040A, and complete Schedule A (Form 1040A or 1040), Itemized Deductions and attach it to your tax return.
The files are in Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf), and you will need the free Acrobat Reader to view and print the files.
