I work in Mass, and live in New Hampshire with my spouse (who works in NH). I would like to file my federal taxes jointly, and my Massachusetts taxes married but separately, since only my income is taxed in Mass. I cannot seem to find information on if I can do this or not. Does anyone know? Thank you!

MA law permits married non-residents to file their MA return as either MFJ or MFS. The choice is yours.

Yes, you can (and should) file your Massachusetts return separately from your spouse.
The TurboTax CD/Download product (found HERE) is the preferred product to file your federal return jointly, and your state return separately.
Here is how to do this in TurboTax CD/Download:
