File joint or separate?

Been always filling married filing joint. When finished entering everything in Turbo Tax I wanted to see what separate would give us. 

Joint fed owe $2017 state owe $830=$2847

 

Separate fed owe $3822 state refund $1280=only paying $2542 instead paying $2847. But turbo tax still has filing jointly “recommended”

 

I didn’t go any further than changing the check mark next to separate. Is this the way to go or am I missing something? We have no dependents anymore.
