My husband and I usually opt for “Married filing jointly”. Just take normal standard deduction/ state exemption and nothing additional.
My husband lived and worked in Illinois until Aug 2024, so taxes were paid to IL. He then got a transfer, working in Michigan from Sept, paying tax to MI. He stayed with a friend as roommate till Nov.
I lived and worked in Illinois until Nov 2024 paying tax to IL. From Dec 2024, both of us have completely moved to Michigan address. My work location is still in IL, so they used our old address and taxed me to IL.
I am not sure how to file together for Illinois and Michigan. Should we opt to file separately?
