Hello Starrcd and thank you for your question!
You and your spouse can file a maried filing joint, or married filing separate federal tax return. You will want to use the address of whichever one of you who would prefer to receive any IRS mail or corespondence.
As far as your state tax filings go, Alabama, is one of the states that requires taxpayers to file married filing separate, if one spouse is a resident of Alabama, and the other spouse is a resident of another state.
Tennessee, on the other hand is among the states with no individual income tax, which means that as a Tennessee resident, with only Tennessee sourced income, you will not need to file a state return.

Have an amazing rest of your day!
