Filing Taxes with Different State Incomes: Joint Federal and Separate State Returns
Greetings,
For the tax year 2020, both my spouse and I earned income in different states—I worked in New Mexico, and my wife worked in Nebraska—and we wish to file a joint federal return (Married Filing Jointly, MFJ). However, when preparing the state tax returns, I noticed that my name appears first and my wife's name second in Nebraska state returns, with no option to alter this order or update my wife's address. Is it possible to file jointly for federal taxes and separately for state taxes (Married Filing Separately, MFS) to ensure the names are listed in the correct order?
Thanks
With best regards
