I mistakenly entered that my spouse is itemizing on his return. How do I change it to show he is taking the standard deduction?

We are filing married filing separately. We are supposed to both either file with standard deduction or itemize. I put that my spouse is itemizing. I need to change that to he is taking the standard deduction.

To update this on your return:

Open your return
Go to My info
In your Personal profile, click the down arrow by your spouse's name
After going through the information, you will get to a question asking you for more information
The box that you marked about itemizing is there- uncheck it
