Did YOU file as married filing separately? If so, here's how to tell TurboTax that your wife did not itemize. Go back to the Personal Info section. On the Personal Info Summary screen, click the Edit button next to your wife's name. The first screen will have her name and Social Security number. Click Continue. The next screen says "Select Any That Apply." The first box will be checked, which says that either your wife or you claim itemized deductions. Uncheck that box. You will then get the standard deduction.
