As long as you have tickets, the IRS is not going to bother you. They can ask for programs all they want, but the burden is on them to prove that those tickets are not mine and in my experience they really dont give a damn. As long as nothing looks real sketchy, they are not going to do the legwork required to even attempt to verify the tickets.
Dunbar,
I dont have a mortage and i still itemize. It all depends on what your doing with your money. Lot of ways to get deductions now a days. You are correct though if your taking the standard deduction there is nothing you can do. In that case the government is giving u a bigger deduction then you could normally get so your already getting some tax benefits out of it.
