"what I'm saying, they have to itemize if using int & taxes on 8829, and don't know where to find written.

Sometimes std deduction is higher, so then no 8829?"

I wonder if this is not a reference to the covid disaster declaration, which you can see is provided for in the 8829 instructions, for lines 9, 10 and 11:

https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i8829

Specifically, about here:

If you are filing Schedule A to increase your standard deduction by a net qualified disaster loss, see Casualty losses reported on line 9, later.

Tip:

You may prefer to itemize your deductions on Schedule A to claim amounts on lines 9, 10, and 11, even if your total personal deductions are less than the standard deduction.

I put the Bold indicators.
