Good morning, I could not finish making my statement because I have the following problem,
I do not know what option I should take for deductions since I have no communication with my wife, we are separated and when I am filling out the application the following appears:
Taxpayers must take the same deduction as their spouse. The IRS verifies the spouses' statements, and if the deductions don't match, there is a penalty.
That means you and your spouse must take the Standard Deduction or itemize your deductions.
Check with your spouse. If you have already submitted it, you are locked in your choice.
I do not know which option she took, what should I do in this case so that I am not fined?
