Question

Filing married separately, wife won’t tell me her AGI and deductions... it wants them on turbo tax... how do I file without them or how do I get them?

short of going to court, your wife doesn't have to give you the info.   her AGI (from the 2018 return) should not be needed for MFS.  check your filing status.  whether she itemized or not is important becuase the one who files first forces the other to use the same method. if she itemizes , you must do the same - in this situation if you take the standard deductuion the iRS will reduce it to $0.       if she took standard and you itemize, I beleive the IRS changes that to standard.       good luck.
