Q. What do you suggest we do?
A. File an amended LA return, changing the filing status to Married Filing Jointly, but showing the FL income as not LA sourced income. FL is not a community property state.
But, it further depends on the circumstance of you living in separate states. That is, were you a genuine FL resident, or was it just some temporarily situation and you shoulda been considered a LA resident for 2017.
Paying a LA tax professional for advice and/or tp prepare the amended return may be advisable.
You can not use TurboTax to prepare an amended 2017 state return, unless you have the 2017 software downloaded on your computer.
