Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi Sabrina, 

 

Thank you for your reply! Just some follow-up questions after looking up the articles you shared:

1. For MD, what does it mean by "had different tax periods"? I never lived in MD, only my spouse lived there for a few months. Can we file states separately if we filed joint federal returns?

Married couples who filed joint federal returns but had different tax periods

Joint return - Filing Status 2  OR

Married filing separately - Filing Status 3


2. For DC, we both moved to DC in October, but only I have DC income, in this case, am I even considered a DC resident? Can we file joint federal return in our situation and separate filing for DC tax? Saw someone mentioned that filing separate is better for DC tax
