State tax filing

Which version of TurboTax are you using?  

 

Oregon Rule is that if one itemizes, you both must itemize or the one that does not will have $0 standard deduction.  If you both select I am the first one filing and I am claiming the Itemized Deduction, then you will both be able to claim the Itemized Deductions.  This question of who files first is not on the Oregon 40 or the Oregon-A, so selecting this option will allow you to go through and both claim Itemized Deductions, (You will need to prorate based on who paid what, you cannot claim the same deductions) but will not cause any issues on the actual forms themselves.
