I live and work in Texas and have historically filed jointly. I will be taking a new job in California in 2023, but commuting weekly back to Texas. My commuting expenses will not be employer reimbursed. My spouse and I are primarily W2 employees making comparable salaries with no children in the house and no itemized deductions. I have weekly 1099 income in Texas and am trying to determine if filing separately will allow us to have separate tax homes and allow me to deduct travel expenses related to my 1099 income. I would also only pay state tax on my income. Any assistance would be appreciated.
