If your filing status is Married Filing Separate (MFS), you will need to indicate whether you lived with your spouse during the year.

To indicate whether you lived with your spouse:

1. From within your TaxAct return (Online or Desktop), click Federal (on smaller devices, click in the top left corner of your screen, then click Federal).
2. Click the Basic Information dropdown, then click Name.
3. Click Continue, check I lived apart from my spouse the entire year, then click Continue.
