Yes, that is a requirement written into the tax code when filing separately.

Yes that is correct.  Unless you live in a community property state, then it gets more complex.

 

See this TurboTax website for filing separately in a community property state - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/married/help/married-filing-separately-in-community-property-states/01/26030
