State tax filing

Would it be wrong if;

We file federal and WV tax together and only she file NJ state as a non resident? Not sure if our tax return will be rejected if we do that.


It would not be wrong. In your situation, your spouse could file a New Jersey non-resident tax return as married filing separately. (This is assuming that she is the only one who has any NJ income.) To do this, she would first have to prepare a dummy federal tax return, that she does not file, as married filing separately. Then prepare her separate New Jersey tax return based on the dummy federal return. She would not be able to e-file the NJ tax return. It would have to be filed by mail.
