State tax filing
PA does allow you to file as married filing separately even though you file a federal joint return.
You will need to either have two online accounts one with with your joint return and one with your spouse filing separately or use a CD/Download version. You can use TurboTax Online to file separate state returns, but we recommend you use the CD/Download software version to do this because you'll only need to pay for one TurboTax product (you can file up to five returns).
Since TX does not have a state income tax you do have to worry about that return.
You will create a mock federal return for your husband filing separately to allow a PA return to be created. The federal mock return will not be filed and the PA return will need to mailed.
Here is a link with more details on the process.
