How do I change our filing status for the Montana state return (but not the Federal return) to Married FIling Separate in my TurboTax Premier?

TurboTax does not allow changing state filing status. I know from using Taxslayer that you can change your filing status from MFJ to MFS for Montana to take advantage of some deductions - like the pension annuity exclusion or higher itemized health deductions.

You can file as married filing jointly on your federal return and as married filing separately on your state return. Please follow the directions below to do so.
