Hi @ThomasM125 ,
To clarify, neither one of us is still a resident of Germany. We are both back in California, though he is here as a tourist. We were intending to at least temporarily to return to California as of Dec 31, 2019 - but we weren't sure at that time that we would stay. I don't think I can claim that I am not a California resident. But can I be a resident and have him not be a resident for the entire year? If so, how would that work? How would we file our state taxes? We are married and filing jointly at the federal level. So how could we file jointly at the state level but not include my husband as a state resident?
Thanks!
