Married file joint vs seperate

[lya2121]

When I first started my tax return and stated I am married turbo tax said file together..i am assuming this is bc most people do. it looks though that we actually might be better off doing it seperate. can the system tell us which is best after we enter all our info under married file together (since thtat is what we were promoted to do at the beginning)? Or, must we choose married file seperate and enter in everything and compare to what the savings are if we file together?
