Husband lived and worked in TX all year; wife moved to CO partway through year and earned no income in either state.
Texas has no state income tax, but is a community property state, so we assume the wife must file CO state income tax on her half of the husband's W2 income and half of all joint interest/investments. CO does not allow couples to file state taxes separately if federal taxes are filed jointly. Is it possible for a married couple to file federal married filing jointly, the wife file CO state taxes on her community property half, and the husband file no state income tax since he is not a resident of a state that requires it? How can we handle this situation in Turbotax desktop?
