Deductions & credits

Your question is confusing and it makes no sense ... do you and your spouse each have more than $10,200 of unemployment ?   The unemployment is an exclusion ( up to 10,200 per person)  on the Sch 1  and reduces your taxable income on the 1040 form ... it is not a standard or itemized deduction at all  so I have no idea why you would need to change your deduction choice.
