State tax filing

@rahulk09 , thank you for your response to my questions -- I still need to know when you entered the country and when did your spouse enter USA--please .   Iam trying to determine if you are Resident for Tax purposes or you are still a Non-Resident Alien for the tax year 2022.   Note if you are not a resident for tax purposes, you cannot use TurboTax but must use  a tax professional or some service like SprinTax.

 

Assuming that you and your spouse are both residents for tax purposes, you can generally prepare  & e-file form 1040 ( supported by TurboTax ).  It also will mean that  ( again depending on exact facts and circumstances ) file a Married Filing Joint  return for federal purposes..

For your State taxes , if your home ( where you live / use as main residence ) , bank, driver's license etc. to prove residence in that state ) is  in ONE  State and you work in a different State then you may have to file two state returns ---- the home state covering your world income and a Non-Resident State for the other state.

 

Does this help  and do you need more details  -- I will have to look up the two states that are mentioned here  and will come back in a short while --- but you have to tell me which state is your home state.

 

Also there  is no First Timme Home Buyer's credit anymore -- that was initiated in 2009 and 2010 -- thereafter  there is no new federal credit.
