My husband and I file as married filing separately. We both took the standard deduction on our Federal returns. I want to itemize on my Iowa return but TurboTax only allows me to take the standard deduction. It asks me if my husband is taking the standard state deduction. When i answer Yes, TurboTax forces me to take the standard deduction. When i answer no, my itemized deductions get applied. Does IA require both spouses to choose the same filing status like the Federal level or is there a problem with the program?
