    Yes, if you are not married, you can decide to take the itemized or standard deduction on your individual tax return.

    @16df  the restriction of using the same type of deductions ( standard or itemized ) is applicable  ONLY to  Married (/ considered married ) filing Separate -- whether  they are co-owners of a home is not material.
