Clarifying question: I have read the thread and created a MFJ federal return and two mock MFS returns. My wife, who lives in our jointly owned home in Oregon, must attach her federal return to her state return. (She made no income other than dividends and distributions earned through our joint brokerage account.) Should she attach the MFJ federal return in this case (even though the data is pulled from the mock MFS return and the MFJ return has all my income on it), or will this technique not work for Oregon? Thanks, Bill
