Thanks for the reply. She has an extreme dental phobia and will only go to a family dentist which is 254 miles one way from where she lives while I am maybe 10 miles from that office. Also she had major dental work last year so with costs and mileage will have gone over 7.5% (if I am figuring this correctly and that is a large part of why I am asking this question.) So, if she takes the insurance premiums, dentist fees and mileage itemizing should work for her while itemizing does nothing for me. Medical reasons kept me from expected income, etc., etc. so am poor as a church mouse.
