Married filing jointly vs separately if income in different states

Hi, 

My husband earned income in NC from mid 2024 (was unemployed in MA from Jan 2024-July 2024). I earned income in MA for 2024. Husband moved to NC mid 2024 and I moved to NC end of 2024. Is married filing jointly better for us? How do we make sure we are not taxed twice? 

Thanks.
