Somewhat outside the focus this particular issue – are deducted items always calculated in a done dollar to dollar, once they take into effect? So, would the math hold correct for the above scenario (assuming the $500 mileage deduction is above the 2% AGI threshold).
The wandering thumb strikes again - sorry, hit like instead of quote

You would get the $500 deduction thrown in with your other itemized deductions. If you can't itemize, then it's a 'no'. If you can itemize, then it's a 'yes'. In your case, unless you are extraordinarily generous, I'm guess you can't itemize.
