Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I have not e-filed yet because it is saying that I cannot e-file my tax return if my dependency status is different on my state return from my federal return.

My federal return is set to married filing joint and that is how I want it. 

I am filing my Maryland state tax return, and I have walked through the questions multiple times. I am not even getting the option to choose my dependency status on my state return.

My spouse is being claimed as a dependent by her parents.

Would this issue be resolved if I filed as married-filing separately?
