My wife and I live and work in different states. So, we filed Married Filing Jointly for Federal (via the website), and then after doing some online reading it seems that the way to do Married but filing separately for the state is to create a "mock" Federal return for each of our state returns. It also mentioned online that the Desktop Software is better for this.
I paid for and downloaded the desktop software and paid for downloading the process for each software, and then started working on one (paid to get Live Advice), and reached the stage to file, but it wont file and shows this message. Ofcourse the federal I submitted does not match but that is the point.
I dont know what else to do here. Any help would be appreciated. I just dont want to pay any more money without getting this thing done.
