MFS - one taxpayer itemizes, even when lower than standard, due to state benefit.  does spouse have to itemize, or can she take standard.  For example, one taxpayer $11,000 deduction, spouse $12,550.  Deductions are lower than if both took standard.

    If one itemizes the other must itemize, too.

    The more I know the more I don’t know.
