State tax filing

Missouri can tax only the income you earned on the three days you physically worked in Missouri.  The income you earned by working remotely in Minnesota is MN-source income, not MO-source income.  Work income is "sourced" where the work is actually (physically) performed.  MO taxes non-residents only on MO-source income.  The employer's location does not determine sourcing.

 

This MO tax website explains the rules on whether or not you're required to file a MO tax return:

Note that MO requires you to use the same filing status on your MO return (if you're required to file) that you used on your federal return.

 

ALL you & your husband's income is taxable by your home state of MN, regardless of where you earned it.  It is almost always advantageous for married couples to file jointly.
