My wife and I lived in separate states prior to getting married in 2016, and the same state after getting married. How should we file our federal and state returns?
My wife and I just got married in 2016. We wanted to file our federal return as Married Filing Jointly to maximize our eligibility for deductions and credits. For our state returns, I lived in PA for all of 2016, but my wife lived in OH for half of 2016 (before we were married), and PA for the half of 2016 (once we were married). Based on previous posts that I have read from other users, it appears that we will need to file our state taxes as Married Filing Separately. Is this correct? If so, what are the directions to do this using TurboTax Deluxe 2016?
