I am filing a MFJ on 1040, but filing MFS due to husband being active in military and considered a PA resident with wife working in and resident of AL.
Is there a way to communicate on the AL return that it will be a MFS return, or to basically unlink the Federal info? I can't find a way to do it other than to override all the information.....filing status, filer, SSN, etc. Even when I do override, it shows I'm getting a host of e-filing errors, due to W-2 amounts and such on the Federal not matching up to the AL state amounts. Well of course they won't match up, the federal is MFJ and the State is a MFS return. There has to be a better way to coordinate the filing status differences without overriding everything. Thanks much!
