Kentucky - Married, filing separately on State taxes

So my husband and I both work and live in Kentucky. Federally we're filing together, but state, it gives me an option for either married filing jointly or married but filing separately on a combined return.

When I do jointly, I owe $150, when I do separately I gain $170

Is this normal and is there any penalty for filing separately for the state tax return for Kentucky?
