My wife and I are filling Married filling separately, and would like to compare our tax burden if we filled using our itemized deductions.

If you'd like to switch over to Itemized Deductions from the Standard Deduction, you can do so by taking the following steps: 

If you go to Deductions & Credits in the Step-by-step mode, click I'll choose what I work on, and then scroll down to click Done with Deductions

You will have to click through a few screens, such as the summary screen for your deductions and credits. 

The Standard/Itemized deduction screen should come up soon after, along with a small box to check if you'd like to change your deduction from standard to itemized. 

You can switch back to the Standard Deduction at any time by taking these same steps, should you change your mind.

Are you in a Community Property State?
