I, too,, wonder about "we both live in DC". Is your spouse an actual resident of PA? Does your spouse have a house and sleep in it in PA?

 

PA says 

A person is considered a statutory resident of PA unless:

  • the person spends more than 181 days (midnight to midnight) of the tax year outside PA; or
  • the person has no permanent abode in PA for any part of the tax year.

Sounds like your spouse might not be either an actual or statutory resident of PA.
