To repeat: I had already checked 'married, filing separate' & the box indicating I or my spouse would be filing itemized deductions. For further clarification: after entering my income & itemized deductions the program calculated & confirmed my itemized deductions. The SOFTWARE issue is that when I clicked "continue" to go to the next step-on to state taxes-the PROGRAM CHANGED my deduction to standard. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO SWITCH IT. There is apparently a flaw in the program that overrides the married filing separate & needing to itemize because the spouse is itemizing, possibly/probably because standard deductions would save me a few hundred dollars. However, HIS needs to be itemized to save a few thousand dollars. There appears to be a flaw in the software & I can't reach anyone at TurboTax to alert them &/or fix my return. It's very frustrating to have to be in this "community" in order to try to get help. At this point, I guess I'm going to have to file an amended return in order to fix the problem that the TurboTax software created
