In the married filing jointly versus married filing separately comparison, could you include the state tax liability numbers in the comparison? For example, for California tax purposes, there are times when the married filing separately status will significantly lower the combined California mental health services tax even though MFS might be slightly detrimental for federal purposes. This is due to each spouse receiving the $1 million Calif. mental health tax exemption when filing MFS.
