Husband moved to Texas in June 2024, while I stayed in the same state (NJ) and I worked in NY for most of the year. How to file 2024 NJ return?

Here are further details for our 2024:

Jan 1 - Jun 18:

Husband: Worked and lived in NJ

Wife (myself): Worked in NY and lived in NJ

Jun 18 - Dec 31:

Husband: Worked and lived in TX (relocated for a new job so there is another W2)

Wife (myself): Worked in NY and lived in NJ till 9/15; Quit my job on 9/15 and flew to TX on 9/16 and stayed in TX for the rest of  year (still owned an apartment in NJ and I am considering coming back to NJ for work in mid 2025)

 

In 2023, we did MFJ for both Fed and State returns (full-year resident return for NJ and non-resident return for NY). In 2024, is it possible for us to still file jointly for our NJ return and exclude my husband's Texas sourced income? And if we file jointly for our NJ return, are we both considered part-year resident of NJ or just my husband being the part-year resident in NJ? We don't think his income sourced from his new job in Texas should be included in our NJ return, but we are not sure if/how the removal could be done in the NJ joint return and if so, where the adjustment/removal should be done in TurboTax online. Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks!
