Deductions & credits

Yes, you could try deleting the Schedule A. 

 

Sign in to your online account

Continue working on your return

Click Tax Tools on the left side bar

Click Tools on the drop-down

Click "Delete a form" on the “Tools Center” screen

Scroll down the list and find Schedule A  then click Delete

Confirm the delete

 

IF THAT DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM 

 

I suggest you go back to "Personal Info" 

change your filing status to Married Filing Separately

on the next screen select that your spouse is taking the Standard Deduction

Finish that section 

Close, reopen and change filing status once more back to Married Filing Jointly 

This way the Standard Deduction should stick
