Q. When trying to File Jointly, TurboTax (TT) has instructed me that due to our situation, that we need to do "Married Filing Separately (MFS)"?
A. No, TT will not tell you to file your Federal return as MFS. You can and should file your federal return as Married Filing Jointly (MFJ).
Maybe the VA or OK program is telling you to file MFS for that state. And that would be okay.
