Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Married Filing Separately is a weird filing status.  You don't mention what state you're in but in a community property state when you file married filing separately you just cut all of the income in half and file two separate returns that are roughly equivalent.  

 

TurboTax has a tendency to do that automatically with the interest and dividends on that worksheet.  it's weird but you should be able to alter them if you need to.

 

I am not aware of any difference in the box colors effecting the numbers.  Afraid that may be a programmer question.
