Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello ELR_2023

 

Assuming you don't hve dependents,  f you both lived separately in 2 different states,  you have the option to file married filing jointly for federal and married filing separately for the states,  You will be able to see the what if scenario on Turbo Tax desktop version to find out which option gives you the most benefit. 

Married filing jointly gives the best result tax wise,  but there are situations where you might benefit from Married filing separately.  It really depends on the income and tax bracket.  This is where the what if scenario on the Turbo tax desktop version comes into play.

 

Thank you
