Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you use the standard deduction it doesn't matter what you enter on the "Allocate Deduction(s)" screen. The standard deduction must be divided equally between the two of you. TurboTax will do that automatically, no matter what you enter. On the Injured Spouse Allocation form, Form 8379, line 15 will show $12,550 for each spouse.
