Oh so do you HAVE to file married joint if you make any Roth IRA contributions? If so, is it possible to file married joint for federal and married separate for state taxes? (In our state we owe if we file joint but we get a return if we file separate)
It depends on your state. Some states require you use the same filing status on the state tax return as was used on the federal tax return.
