I itemized deductions, my spouse took standard deduction in 2017 before we married. What do I answer for "Did you take the std deduction last yr, or did you itemize?"

Say that you itemized.  If you are later asked if you had a state tax refund for 2017 paid in 2018, answer yes only if you received one, and only include the amount you received.
