I'm filing Married Filing separately, but there is no option to select the standard deduction --it making me itemize, which i don't want to do.

Is there a glitch?

You may have selected that your spouse itemized his/her deductions. You have to choose the same option as your spouse.

thank you---where would I have indicated that my spouse itemized her deductions?  My spouse hasn't completed the return yet.
