Are you referring to your RMD that you need to take out for the 2019 tax year?  No, you cannot wait until 2020 to do that.  And, no one will be filing a 2019 return until 2020.   Or are you asking about something else? ... View more

You may be forfeiting some tax benefits by filing MFS.  You can always change from MFS to MFJ.  Whoever told you changing would trigger an automatic audit was full of baloney.  In fact, you could amend as far back as 2016 to MFJ if you calculate the difference and see that your refund would have been affected.   If you were legally married at the end of 2019 your filing choices are married filing jointly or married filing separately. Married Filing Jointly is usually better, even if one spouse had little or no income. When you file a joint return, you and your spouse will get the married filing jointly standard deduction of $24,400 (+$1300 for each spouse 65 or older)   You are eligible for more credits including education credits, earned income credit, child and dependent care credit, and a larger income limit to receive the child tax credit.   If you choose to file married filing separately, both spouses have to file the same way—either you both itemize or you both use standard deduction. Your tax rate will be higher than on a joint return. Some of the special rules for filing separately include: you cannot get earned income credit, education credits, adoption credits, or deductions for student loan interest. A higher percent of your Social Security benefits may be taxable. Your limit for SALT (state and local taxes and sales tax) will be only $5000 per spouse. In many cases you will not be able to take the child and dependent care credit. The amount you can contribute to a retirement account will be affected. If you live in a community property state, you will be required to provide additional information regarding your spouse’s income. ( Community property states:   AZ, CA, ID, LA, NV, NM, TX, WA, WI) If   you are using online TurboTax to prepare your returns, you will need to prepare two separate returns and pay twice.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1894449-married-filing-jointly-vs-married-filing-separately https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901162-married-filing-separately-in-community-property-states https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1894449-is-it-better-for-a-married-couple-to-file-jointly-or-separately ...

It also depends on whether you are going to get a W-2 or if you are an independent contractor being paid in cash or getting a 1099Misc.  If you are an independent contractor then at the very least you are going to owe self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.  But you have provided no information about your filing status or your income. ...

TurboTax never knows if, when, or how you paid your tax due.  TurboTax only shows the result of the tax return you prepared using the software.   If you had tax due, then that is what will always be shown in your online account.  TurboTax does not get feedback from the IRS after you file or pay your tax due, so TT does not know if you paid. ...
