State tax filing

Thank you for the answer. This is good to know and definitely worth it for me to look into. But as a follow up how is this done? When I start my Mass State Return, it automatically imports the data from my Federal Return including the status, Married Filing Jointly. There does not appear to be an option in the process to change the Mass Return filing status. Do I have to go in an make a manual change and remove all of my imported income info?
