Tax filing status

Dear Tax Consultant

 

I am going to live and work on w2 in Illinois throughout 2025 while my wife lives and works on w2 in Arizona with our one dependent son . So far we have been living and filing taxes together in AZ as MFJ ( both Fed and AZ State ).

As I need to choose the proper status in my new W4 in 2025, I need to your advise if it is fine to choose MFS for both of us in our respective w4 OR MFJ is still a better choice for both of us. Also what is the filing requirements for both of us in AZ and/or IL. Please advise. Thank you!
