If you are using the Married Filing Separately filing status that means that both you and your wife will be filing completely separate tax returns.

You would need to be working on her tax return in order to see any credits or deductions that have been entered. You cannot see that information while working on your return.

I thought that was the case, but when I go to deductions and enter the info, it says zero credit. When filing separately, is there a way to get to my wife’s deduction section?
