Yes. You can go back and change last years return to Itemized deductions instead of standard by Amending your return. No, you will not have to enter all of your information again if you used TurboTax last year. If you used the desktop version, you can just open your tax return from last year and select Amend Your Return. If you used the online version, you can log into your account then select your previous year returns and select Amend your return. This will guide you through the process of amending your return and downloading last years software and transferring your last year return to the downloaded software.
If you filed Married filing separately last year, and your wife didn't file taxes, then yes, you can still switch to the itemized deductions as it will not affect her. However, it is possible that you could be better off filing a joint return (unless there are non-tax reasons you did not do so).
