Try going back to the My Info section of each of your returns and edit the information that was entered for the spouse. There is a check box in that section stating that one of you are claiming itemized deductions. If that box is checked, then you both are required to claim itemized deductions. Unchecking the box should allow you to use the standard deduction instead.
