Hi @vamshi0626 ,
I am in the same boat too. I live and work in CA and my wife live and works in WA (No State Tax) for the entire 2020. We will be filing MFJ - Federal , but for state tax filing - CA , which one is the correct filing ? MFJ gives higher deductions than MFS like you mentioned. Can you help how did you proceed for the same .
Also TurboTax online doesn't show how its considering whether MFJ or MFS for State . If MFJ to be selected , will her WA income also be accounted while filing for CA state tax ?
