married filing separately

I started my return filing jointly, but have decided to change to separately.  I'm the wife, and i own a sole proprietorship. For some reason, under my Asset Entry worksheet, my husband is the name shown on return. I've already told TT that i own the business alone.  Is it because he is listed on the return first?

On a MFJ return, the name listed first is listed across the top of all subsequent forms. If you have switched to MFS, his name should not be showing up on your forms.

 

MFJ is much more beneficial than MFS in most cases. Please check out this video on MFJ vs MFS.

1. can you change my forum screen name? I really don't want that showing up.

2. i have a second question about a total loss payout from insurance. I can give you more info, but i don't want all my personal info on the forum with my name attached.
