Thank you for your quick reply. Very helpful. (I can't believe I couldn't find this question on the Forum.)
When you say "itemize", you mean the Schedule A deductions, or Schedule C (we don't use those) or any other deduction type form? There will be only one item to report which is for only one of us-- a form to report School tuition and Loan amounts. I forget Form number.
Does that one item (tuition & loans) exclude each of us from the standard deduction?
I'm so sorry, what do you mean by "community property state"? Is this for the State Return? Also, We don't own a home. We've rented.
Thanks again!
