Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you happen to be using the Married Filing Separate filing status and you indicated that your spouse will be using itemized deductions, then you are required to use itemized deductions as well even if the standard deduction is higher.

 

This indication can be found in the My Info or Personal Info section of your return where your spouse's information is entered.
