    If you are legally married you can only file as Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately on a federal tax return.

    You won't. To determine your federal filing status, take this quick quiz, Filing status . CA expects you to file the same as federal unless you have an exception. See Filing status | FTB.ca.gov
