My husband and I live in NH which is a no income tax state. My husband works in Maine and I work in NH. We tried filing a ME nonresident income tax after entering our federal return information and it seems to take into account my NH income. When I remove my income from our federal return it says we are owed money from the state of Maine, but if my income is entered on the federal return it says we owe the state of Maine. I feel like my income shouldn't have any bearing on the nonresident return since I work in NH. Should my husband file his ME state income tax as single instead of married filing jointly like we did on our federal return?
