Kentucky allows either married filing jointly or filing separately on a combined return.
It is defaulting to "filing separately on a combined return".
How do I change that to filing jointly for Kentucky?
Thanks

Why do you want to change it?
I'm not familiar with KY, but for other states that have this "filing separately on a combined return" status, it results in less tax than MFJ.
The more I know, the more I don't know.

I no longer have a Kentucky client but when I did, the software defaulted to MFJ because that resulted in less tax. One spouse had most of the income. I think if both spouses have about the same amount of income, MFS/Combined is a better choice. But as I recall there was an easy place to switch back and forth, probably on the state worksheet. But maybe ProConnect is different now. I was using ProSeries, then.
