Federal MFJ, state MFS (MA and NY)

Hi,

My wife and I lived in different states (I was a full-year MA resident, my wife part-year NY and part-year MA resident). We are filing a joint federal return and separate (MFS) state returns. For NY: Form IT-203 asks for the federal income as well as the New York income. Does this only refer to my wife's portion of the federal income or do we have to include the entire joint income reported on the joint federal return? I don't see an option to specify my part of the income as such. For MA TurboTax asks whether we lived together and which portion of the federal income is from the other spouse.

 

Thanks for the help.
