Confused on Federal and State Filing for Registered Domestic Partnership
Per the Oregon gov site:
"Registered domestic partners (RDP) in Oregon receive the same tax treatment as married individuals. Just like a married couple, you and your partner may file jointly or separately. As an RDP, you can't file using the single filing status on your Oregon return."
Now, when I was filling out TurboTax online, it told me I had to purchase the Desktop version (Deluxe) since I am in an RDP. In the Desktop version under "PERSONAL INFO", I have it listed with the following:
Marital Status: Registered Domestic Partnership
Your Filing Status: Single
Is this used for just the Federal return, or will this information be included for the State Return, as well? I don't see anywhere else that lets me change my filing or marital status during the State section. The plan is for us to filing our taxes separately.
Any help is appreciated!
