Intelligence
Ever since he was a kid, Itachi has been touted as a genius among Konoha.
He was smart enough to become Anbu captain at 13 years old:
Itachi graduated from the Ninja Academy when he was 7 at the top of his class, and became a Chunin when he was 10:
When he was 7 years old, Itachi already had the wisdom of a Hokage:
Itachi was the only one who figured out "Madara" was still alive after all the years that had passed:
The whole fight with Sasuke was all Itachi's plan to give him power and to rid him of Orochimaru's curse:
Itachi comes up with a plan to defeat Nagato's Planetary Destruction given only the most basic knowledge by Naruto:
Seemingly without any prior knowledge, Itachi knew about the shared vision between the Rinnegan and used kunai knives to blind two of Nagato's summons:
Itachi knew Kabuto was planning on attacking Sasuke in their fight:
Itachi can see through people's hearts and read their intentions:
Itachi is a genius:

Speed/Strength
Itachi sends Kurenai flying with a kick and then creates a Shadow Clone right behind her before she has the chance to stand up:
Itachi catches Sasuke's arm while Sasuke is attempting to use Chidori against him, despite the fact that Sasuke went through a month of rigorous training to achieve a greater level of speed, enough to patch Lee with his weights off:
He then breaks his wrist with little effort:
During his fight with Sasuke, Itachi managed to make a Shadow Clone during their clash with shuriken, showing great hand sign speed:
Zetsu remarks that Itachi should have been able to dodge Sasuke's rigged-shuriken attack and that it was weird he didn't. Due to the fact that he was sick and dying and had just used a tasking technique in Tsukuyomi proves that if healthy, Itachi would have dodged it:
Suffering more backlashes from his illness/eyes, Itachi dodges two Dragon Fire Jutsus fired from underneath him while only receiving a burned arm:
Itachi reacts to Killer Bee's swordsmanship, something even Sasuke couldn't do before he achieved EMS (watch from 7:45 to 8:28):
Here it is in the manga:
Itachi reacts to Kirin, activating his Susanoo in time to protect him. Kirin is stated to be faster than the speed of sound, putting Itachi in the Hypersonic range for reaction time:

Taijutsu/Shurikenjutsu
In the beginning of their fight, Itachi outmatches Sasuke in H2H fighting (although it might have been just a Genjutsu as I'm not sure where the Genjutsu started):
Itachi fights evenly with KCM Naruto for a short time, even though Naruto has floored Kisame with a punch, taken out a White Zetsu clone with one hit, and had the speed to dodge a top speed Raikage (3:17 to 3:50):
Itachi matches Sasuke with shuriken:
At a younger age, Itachi was skilled enough with kunai knives to hit multiple targets square on, and even a target behind a rock:
Itachi cancels out Sasuke's thrown shuriken with his own:
Itachi counters the Rinnnegan's shared filed of vision with kunai knives:

Ninjutsu
Shadow Clone Jutsu
Itachi knows Shadow Clone Jutsu, an advanced forbidden technique. He can also make his clones explode:
Chakra Nature: Fire Release
With only 30% of Itachi's chakra, the clone-copy Itachi uses Grand Fireball Jutsu, which carves a trail through the ground:
Sick, losing his eyesight, and physically tired after use of a Tsukuyomi, Itachi matches Sasuke's Fireball Jutsu for a brief time:
Itachi uses Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson against Killer Bee. The technique is sort of Phoenix Flower Jutsu combined with shuriken:
Chakra Nature: Water Release
Itachi uses Water Dragon Bullet against Kabuto:
Here it is in the manga:
Itachi uses shuriken to disguise the fact that he was wielding hand signs for a Water style attack against Kakashi, and he also had the time to create a clone to go behind Kakashi:
Crow Clone Jutsu
Itachi can create a crow clone, like a Shadow Clone but instead of poofing away, it disperses into a flock of crows:
Hoping Sasuke would use the Mangekyo Sharingan on Naruto, Itachi transferred a crow that had Shisui's Sharingan in it to Naruto with the order of "protect Konoha" embedded on it:
Summoning Jutsu
Itachi summons crows to impede Sasuke's progress:
Itachi is very skilled in ninjutsu:

Genjutsu
Normally an Uchiha would need to make eye contact with its victim in order to use a Genjutsu against them, but Itachi can do it with his right index finger as well:

Itachi catches Deidara in a Genjutsu the moment Deidara looked at his Sharingan:
Itachi caught Orochimaru in Demonic Illusion: Shackle Stakes and cut off his arm:
Here is a description:
Sharingan Prowess
Itachi has the Mangekyo Sharingan, and with it comes two unique abilities, Tsukuyomi, the ultimate Genjutsu, and Amaterasu, a never-ending fire technique.
Tsukuyomi
Itachi can catch you in an instant with Tsukuyomi and there's no cancelling it's effects like other Genjutsus:
Itachi puts Sasuke into Tsukuyomi and makes him relive for 24 hours the day he (Itachi) killed their parents:
Itachi uses Tsukuyomi on Kakashi. Kakashi had been tormented for 72 hours in Tsukuyomi's dream state, but only a second went by in the real world:
Itachi caught Sasuke in his Tsukuyomi again, but Sasuke eventually broke out of it due to being an Uchiha (watch from 20:00 to 25:15):
Amaterasu
This jutsu activates on who or whatever the caster is focusing on and doesn't stop until it has burned its target to ash:
Amaterasu is hot enough to burn through the stomach of a mountain toad who himself can breath fire:
After starting to lose the Fireball Jutsu battle, Itachi uses Amaterasu to put out Sasuke's fire:
Itachi uses Amaterasu to take care of Nagato's endless summoning:
Upon his death, Itachi transferred his Amaterasu powers into Sasuke's eyes so that he would have the ability. He also programmed it so that it would activate once he looked at Obito's Sharingan:
Here's a databook scan:
Susanoo
The third ability awakened by Itachi with his Mangekyo Sharingan, Susanoo is a large chakra-like body that covers the users body and can be used in offensive or defensive means.
Here's some info about Susanoo:
http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Susanoo
Itachi's Susanoo and spirit weapons:
Offensive Capabilities
Itachi's Susanoo has with it two spirit weapons, one of them being the Totsuka Blade. The Totsuka Blade is a variant of the Kusanagi Blade and is an etheral blade enchanted with a sealing spell that seals whatever it cuts in a world of genjutsu:
The Totsuka Blade cut through multiple snakes that emerged from Sasuke, three of them simultaneously in one cut, as Orochimaru's chakra started taking control of him:
Itachi blitzes Orochimaru after the latter reveals himself from one of the snakes that emerged from Sasuke. Due to being stabbed by the Totsuka Blade, Orochimaru gets sealed inside its gourd:
With just its hand, Itachi's Susanoo punches through a really thick wall:
Itachi's Susanoo hand cuts through Kimmimaro's bones, which were capable of standing up to Rock Lee's kicks:
Defensive Capabilities
The other spirit weapon Itachi has acquired is the Yata Mirror. The Yata Mirror is an etheral shield that is endowed with all nature transformations and is said to be able to change its charactersitics to match any attack:
The Yata Mirror's defensive abilities are strong enough to defend Itachi against Kirin, Sasuke's strongest attack at the time:
Here it is in the manga:

Itachi's weaker version of Susanoo tanks hits from multiple explosive tags:
It then deflects Sasuke's Kusanagi Blade:
Yasaka Magatama
Itachi's strongest long range attack, it consists of his Susanoo creating chakra tomoes, either stringed together or separate, and fired at a target. Here he uses it in conjunction with Naruto's Rasenshuriken and Bee's Tailed Beast Bomb to destroy Nagato's Chibaku Tensei:
A single Magatama can create a huge explosion:
Izanami
Itachi knows Izanami and used it on Kabuto:
