My wife and I got married in October 2023. She lived in Wisconsin and I lived in Minnesota. After we got married in November 2023, I moved in with her in Wisconsin. What is the best way for us to file our federal and state returns?

My wife and I got married last year in October 2023. After we got married, in November 2023, I moved in with her in Wisconsin. 

 

I'm wondering what the best way for each of us to file our 2023 tax returns should be? I know there is a benefit to filing jointly, so should we file jointly for our federal returns? What status should we use to file separately in our state returns? I know I will personally need to file state returns for Minnesota and Wisconsin, as I lived in both states in 2023.  

 

Looking for expert advice. Thanks!
