The following diagnostic is generating:

The must itemize indicator requires the filing status be Married Filing Separate.

Solution:

This means that if the return has the "must itemize" flag turned on, the taxpayer’s filing status must be Married Filing Separately. You should review the filing status and either: Change the status to "Married Filing Separately" if the taxpayer is required to itemize. OR Remove the "must itemize" indicator if another filing status is being used.

What are you asking? Itemized deductions have to be greater than the standard deduction for MFJ. Complete Schedule A and if you want to force Itemized deductions that are less than the standard deduction, check the box on the Federal Info Worksheet.
