How to Change Filing Status in TurboTax
📌 Why this matters
Changing your filing status isn't just about correcting mistakes—it directly impacts your tax liability, standard deduction, and eligibility for credits. Your marital status might change during the tax year, or you might discover that filing separately saves money despite being married. The software automatically recalculates everything when you update your status, potentially revealing significant savings you'd miss otherwise. Even small changes in circumstances can shift which filing status gives you the lowest tax bill.
