State tax filing

@user17759303457 you have the option of each filing Separate or  Filing Joint in Illinios since you both were not full year residents. 

 

if you choose to file file MFS , you would file MFS, with a residential tax return.  Your spouse would file MFS with a part year tax return.

 

Alternatively, you can file MFJ and then take a tax credit for what your wife paid in the other state.
