My husband and I are married filing jointly. Can one of take the standard deduction and the other itemize? If so, how do I do it in Turbotax?

Unfortunately, no. If you are filing jointly, you are reporting your income and expenses together.

The program will determine if it is better to take the standard federal deduction of $24,000 for married jointly filers or your itemized deductions.
