State tax filing

Yes. CT - MFJ or JFS - allows you to file separately or jointly to determine the lowest tax for you. See CT Income Tax Dashboard - Filing Status | Connecticut Data

NC - MFS    See Your Filing Status - Individual Income Tax follows federal unless you have an exception, which you do. Only one spouse had income there.
