Answer #1

Taxable income of wife , when she elects to file return separately

Gross income = $25000

less: standard deduction   = $2200

$ 22800

Note:- Since husband deducts itemized deduction then wife also has to claim itemized deduction and can not claim standard deduction ,. As in case of married people filing separately , both have to claim either standard deduction or intemized. .it is not possible for both to claim differently.
