After you file

It is usually more beneficial to file as married filing jointly because some credits and deductions are disallowed when you file as married filing separately. Therefore, it is impossible to determine who deserves what portion of the refund. However, if you would like to see what the refund amounts would have been on two married filing separate returns you can do so. Please view the TurboTax FAQ for instructions on creating a test return to perform a what-if comparison.
