I have a couple that are married filing separate and one spouse has itemized deductions.  And I just realized this but the itemized spouse the system is picking up the itemized deductions and the other spouse it is picking up the standard deduction.  Why would it not pick up the standard deduction for the itemized spouse when the deduction is more?  And do I split the itemized deductions in half and put half on each return. 

Thanks  for your help in this.
