Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There is no good way to do the comparison in TurboTax Online. You would have to have two additional separate accounts to create the two married-filing-separately returns, and you would have to create each one from scratch. In the CD/Download Desktop TurboTax software you can use the What-If Worksheet to do an estimate of how separate returns would work out compared to a joint return, using the information from your joint return.


Don't spend a lot of time or effort figuring out a way to do the comparison. It's extremely unlikely that filing separately would come out better.
