Since if one spouse itemizes, the other spouse loses the standard deduction, the only choice is to itemize. You can choose to split the amounts on Schedule A or only take what is actually yours. You can't both take the same deduction.</P> Wed, 09 Mar 2022 17:48:18 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-married-filing-seperately/01/2564184#M953105 ColeenD3 2022-03-09T17:48:18Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-married-filing-seperately/01/2564318#M953106 <P>Ok perfect. I will try each of us taking our own deductions. We have to pay alot filing jointly as we are newly married so trying seperately to see if that makes a little differance.</P> Wed, 09 Mar 2022 18:05:46 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-married-filing-seperately/01/2564318#M953106 hsmith8982 2022-03-09T18:05:46Z
