MFS - Itemized vs Standard

cmorrow
Level 2

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.
