When filing DC MFS (Married Filing Separately on the same return), you can allocate deductions to whichever spouse minimizes the combined tax. TurboTax usually pre-populates this based on who paid (if identified) or to maximize the lower bracket; it is generally safe to keep as is, or you can assign all deductions to the higher-earner to maximize savings.
