I live and work in MN and my spouse in TX all year. So he is a TX resident and I am a MN resident.
We got married last November but still living in different states till we can switch jobs.
When we file Federal as joint there is no issue.
Question is when filing for MN state taxes:
1. Its my understanding we have to use the same status for MN state tax filings as Federal is this correct?.
2. When filing MN if I put my status as resident then its taking the whole AGI of me and my spouse from Federal and saying we owe 4000+. If we do part year resident then i can put specific amount I earned from MN and get a small refund of about $100. Is the correct way to file setting my status as Part Year Resident?
