As a homeowner you very likely pay mortgage interest and property taxes which are deductible if you choose to itemize your deduction rather than take standard deduction. In most cases in which a homeowner has paid those items for most of the year they find that their itemized deductions are greater and thus an advantage. Itemizing also may make other items deductible which will increase your deductions and reduce your tax liability. Itemized deductions are reported on Schedule A and transferred to Form 1040. You have no state personal income tax in Florida so there is no advantage there.
