Can I claim property tax, and will it increase my refund? Also, is it more beneficial for spouses to file together or separate?

Property taxes are only deductible for certain individuals - namely those who are claiming business-use-of-home expenses (home office for self-employed) or rental income.

Preparing a "coupled" return does not affect which credits and deductions are claimed but does make entering/optimizing these amounts easier.
