After you file

The question about the spouse itemizing is not in the filing status section. It's in the section for the spouse's information.


If your itemized deductions are less than your standard deduction, which seems to be the case, you don't even have to remove them. As soon as you uncheck the box that says your wife itemized, TurboTax will ignore the itemized deductions and give you the standard deduction.
