Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Nope, you are good with the one state tax return.  MA will tax all of your income, even the income earned in TX - but Texas does not have any state income tax, and unless they enact one, you don't report any income to the state of Texas.   You are considered full-year residents of MA as long as you keep a home there and intend on going back after any temporary assignment.      If TX had an income tax, your wife's TX earned income would be taxed there as a non-resident.   But they don't, so less paperwork for you. 😉
