amended return for NY STATE AND CITY

I filed a 2025 return for a married couple filing each as married filing separately

I filed the wife with itemized deductions. I then completed the husbands with itemized  deduction information .

But accidentally on April 15th I filed it with .a standard deduction.

After receiving a letter disallowing from New York disallowing the inconsistency in claiming different deductions.

I filed an amended Federal and New York return for the husband with the additional payment required.

New York continues to claim both both husband and wife must file with the standard deduction.

The wife has significant deductions and the net tax is less if they file MFS.

Should I re file ?

You were correct in way you handled your clients MFS returns. Not sure why NY came back saying both must take standard. You need to call the number on letter to speak to the NY agent in order to understand  his reply.

I should have asked can I refile an amended return in the state of NY. Why would the state not accept the husbands amended return?
