I am newly married. I want to enter my information and my wife's information, then test whether it is better to file separate or joint. What is the easiest way?

Difficult to do with The "Online" software...you'd need three separate accounts.

the Desktop software allows you to create as many test files as you want..

AND "newly married"..?..I hope you meant before the end of 2019. IF it was in 2020, then both of you have to file separate tax returns as "Single" for 2019.
