Married Filing Separate - Itemized or Standard Deduction Checked in Error
1
If you're filing Married Filing Separate and one taxpayer itemizes, both must itemize. If you indicated that the spouse itemizes in error, you must go back and uncheck that box.
To uncheck the Check box if your spouse itemizes deductions option:
From within your TaxAct® return (Online or Desktop) click Federal. On smaller devices, click the menu icon in the upper left-hand corner, then select Federal
Click Basic Information in the Federal Quick Q&A Topics menu to expand the category and then click Filing Status
Select Married filing separately (temporarily, if you intend to use a different filing status) and click Continue until you reach the screen titled Spouse Itemizes
Uncheck the box titled Check box if your spouse itemizes deductions
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to select the correct filing status, if necessary
