Is it legitimate to change to standard deduction when spouse is itemizing?
When one begins creating a return in TurboTax, after selecting Married Filing Separately, TurboTax asks if I or my wife claim itemized deductions. That check box comes with a clear statement...
Note: You both must itemize deductions on each of your returns...
Then why, when completing the return, does the software select the deduction method that produces the greater refund, ignoring the filing status I selected?
This software is so flawed!!!
