Q1. Should we file federal MFJ?
A1. Yes.
Q2. How should he file his state in AR?
A2. Yes
Q3. Do I have to file as a non-resident for AR? Do I owe taxes in AR?
A3. You file a joint Resident AR return. You are both full year resident of AR. For tax purposes, your TN home is a 2nd home.
TN does not have an income tax. If your job and 2nd home were in a state with an income tax, the filing situation could be more messy, depending on the state.
@RaviYen I'm of the opinion, this applies to your OR-WA situation as well.
