Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes. Since you got married during 2016 and were residents of different states for part of the 2016 tax year, you will be able to file your federal income taxes jointly but you would file your state income taxes as married filing separately.
Since your wife has a part-year filing in both OH and PA and due to the fact that OH and PA have a reciprocal agreement, she will only need to report income earned in each state based on the time she was a resident of each state (regardless of which of the 2 states (PA and OH) she worked in). However, if she had a job in OH then a different one in PA, then only the OH wages will be reported on the OH part-year return and the PA wages will be reported on the PA part-year return.
Here are instructions on using TurboTax for filing federal married filing jointly but state's married filing separately.
