I live and work in RI and my wife lived and worked in KY all of 2020. I followed this guide to make our MFJ federal return and two mock MFS returns to generate individual state returns for us to file separately.
My questions is, who claims children as dependents on our individual state returns? Do we assign them to only one of the state returns? If so, should the spouse listed as the primary filer on the MFJ federal return be the one who claims them on state?
Finally, are there any state laws in RI or KY the would bar me from filing one MFJ federal return and two MFS state returns? Thanks.
