Not sure how anyone can make it more clear for you. If you prepare the MFS return for her and see the result---then compare it to the result of a MFJ return----do the math. If you file MFS you can let her take all the itemized deductions if you choose to. (Then you will not get any deductions and will even lose your own standard deduction--but you say that is okay with you.....)
