first time filing married separate, as we are divorcing. so with the online version, it appears we each have to have our own account ( buy two downloads) and just file each as if we are "single filers" but use married filing separate? ie. we both file our own fed and state using our own w2s etc. there is not a way, it appears on the premium version, for us to fill it out together. ie the program won't split it up for us at the end, correct? so if we file each on our own, we have to both file the same, either standard deduction or itemize. the question becomes for the mortgage, we each claim half of the numbers for interest and property tax etc? we will each have to file a separate state filing, too. (not a community state) the IRS will receive two separate, fed.
returns for same address and mortgage info.
