My spouse itemized deductions. We are filing seperately. Turbo tax keeps trying to put the standard deduction on my claim. How do I fix this?

Go to My Info  and click Edit by Filing Status.  It will ask you to Review your Filing Status, click Continue.  Then on the next screen you pick if you or your spouse itemized deductions.

 

See this thread on changing Standard Deduction or Itemized Deductions.
