Thanks for the reply, @fanfare! Is that applicable for all scenarios, though?
I was following this, which says otherwise
https://www.nj.gov/treasury/taxation/pdf/pubs/tgi-ee/git4.pdf
→ Married/CU couples: One is a resident and one is a nonresident If you and your spouse reside in different states for the entire year and only one of you lives in New Jersey, the resident spouse can file a resident return using the filing status Married/Civil Union Filing Separately, even if you are filing a joint federal tax return. The resident spouse calculates income and exemptions as if they filed a separate federal return.
