If you selected "Filing jointly" for federal, then TurboTax will use that for State as the default. So, yes, it should be a joint as well.

Can you provide more detail? Not sure what you need help with.

Sorry, thought it was a search inquiry (not a posted question). I filed me federal taxes jointly with my husband, and I just went through the prompts to file state taxes. I cant find it explicitly called out, but will the state be a "joint" filing too? Or does my husband need to log in separately and file his state himself?
