Yes. You are a part-time California resident and a part-time Utah resident. You moved to Utah with the intent of staying there for an indefinite period of time and took steps to establish permanent residency.
Your Utah income will be 8 months of your W-2 income, your husband’s full-year Utah income, 12 months of rental income, and whatever 1099 income you earned as a Utah resident. Rental income is full-year because the property is located in Utah. Residency doesn’t matter for the rental. You’d report a full-year rental to Utah whether a resident, part-year resident, or non-resident.
You can use either TurboTax Online or CD/Download if you file together.
Utah and California both require you to file a joint return (if you file a joint federal return) unless one spouse was a full-year nonresident.
Depending on your income and your husband’s income and your husband’s residency, it’s possible filing separately may work out better. However, California is a community property state, so you’d have to split your total income 50/50, in which case you’d need CD/Download.
Because of that (without knowing much about your situation) and the fact that a bulk of your joint income comes from Utah, I suspect filing separately would not help much.
