How can I compare Married Filing Jointly with Married Filing Separately?
by TurboTax•134• Updated 1 month ago
If you're using TurboTax Desktop, try this:
- Open your return and select Forms.
- Select Open Form, enter What-If Worksheet (it may appear as What-If Wks), and select Open Form.
- Select the MFJ vs. MFS box.
- Scroll down to Balance Due (Refund) located under Line 72.
- The second column shows the federal outcome for a joint return, and the third and fourth columns show the outcome for the taxpayer and spouse if filing separately.
- Negative numbers are refunds and positive numbers are taxes due.
