We file federal taxes jointly but as of this year we have to file Mass taxes jointly too. The problem is, she doesn't have Massachusetts health insurance because she hasn't even been here for years. I saw a similar question but the answer was "say she's not a citizen" which isn't true in her case.
So how do I note on the Mass tax return that she isn't a tax resident and doesn't live here, so she doesn't have health insurance here and doesn't need it, and I don't want to fight them over a fine? Not for nothing, her health insurance in Spain is fantastic.
Thanks to anyone who can solve this.
