Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@michelleq84 

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.
