State tax filing
Where does your wife consider "HOME"?
Does she intend to return to NC?
If she does not intend to return you will file Federal as MFJ, and
File both NC and MA as MFS so her MA income is not listed as part of NC
If she does plan to come back you will still file federal as MFJ. but
File both states as MFJ, but have your wife as a non resident on the MA return.
You will show both incomes on NC, but get a tax credit for taxes paid to MA.
Only her income would go on the MA tax return.
