In 2019 I lived and worked in Minnesota and my husband lived and worked in New York. We file taxes separately. He itemizes his deductions so thus I have to itemize my federal deductions, even though standard would have been better for me individually. However, from what I can tell, Minnesota state just asks if your spouse is itemizing for Minnesota state taxes. Since my husband will not be filing any Minnesota tax return, am I free to claim a standard deduction for my Minnesota state taxes even though he itemizes his in NY state?
