The program is asking for the date your spouse became a resident (lived in) the state, not the country.
Please complete the prior year returns as if it were the prior year. In other words, you cannot use a date for your 2021 return that is after 2021.
If your spouse was not in the USA, select that your spouse was a non-resident of the state (select Foreign or U.S. Possession)
If your spouse was in the USA, select your state and enter January 1 of that year (the tax year of the return) .
For the state return, it does not matter the date your spouse became a Permanent Resident of the US.
