Can I file married jointly if my spouse resides in a different state.

I live in Michigan and lived in Michigan entire 2020

My spouse lives in New York State and lived in Michigan till June 2020

 

My wage income is taxed in Michigan(w2)

My spouse's wage income is taxed like below

     Michigan income taxed in Michigan(w2)

     NYS income taxed in NYS(w2)

 

How can we file married jointly?

 

Can we file jointly for federal and separately for states, I read somewhere we can't do that for Michigan

 

If we file Jointly in all the states, assuming we meet the NYS full year resident criteria(lived in rental for more than 183 days), I am getting taxed for all of our income that is not earned in New York.
