Hello, research claims that I dont need to file because my husband already filed jointly for 2024 first time. I still get notified to file. Am I in the clear?

This is the first time my husband and I filed jointly but I keep getting emails that I need tonfile. Im assuming its because I have my own turbo tax account. But my husband filed jointly on his account.

@dougdukezafra , if you have filed MFJ ( i.e. your husband + you , using his TurboTax account ), then you are done for the tax year 2024.  Till next year

TurboTax sees that you did not file from your own account. It does not connect your husband's account with yours, so it doesn't know that you filed from his account. Ignore the emails saying that you should file.

Did you get married in 2024?  You should usually file a Joint return which is only 1 return combined for the both of you. Joint has the lowest tax rates and the highest Standard Deduction. And if you are in a Community Property state MFS gets tricky to figure out. Make sure to stick with this one account for the future. Just ignore the other spouse's account.
