Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you for that additional information.  You will file a Utah resident return, of course, but first prepare a Virginia Part-Year resident return and use the filing status Married Filing Separately.  

 

Virginia is unique in that it is one of a handful of states with a filing status for "married filing a combined separate return". This status will make it a little easier to report only the income earned in Virginia on that return.

 

After you have completed your Virginia return, the Utah return should be fairly seamless. However, be sure to note the amount of income and tax paid in Virginia in case the Utah interview asks those questions. 

 

You will file your Utah return with the Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) filing status.
