Hi,
My spouse has been a part year resident (for Utah for 2015) while I have not. We plan to file Fed income tax return as Married filing jointly.
I am trying to create state return for my spouse using the approach provided at :
https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901214-how-do-i-prepare-a-joint-federal-return-and-separate-state...
Is that correct and applicable for my scenario ? As when i go to 'Individual Income Tax Forms & Instructions ' at http://tax.utah.gov/forms/current/tc-40inst.pdf it reads as follows under 'Married Couples' on page 5):
If either spouse is a part-time resident, they cannot file using these special instructions but must file their Utah return using the same filing status as on their federal return.
This makes me believe my spouse needs to file utah return as Married filing jointly. If yes, then i would be taxed twice on my income (once by my home state i.e. IL and another by UT). Any suggestions what would be correct way to do ?
