State tax filing

Hi Daniel. Thanks a lot for your response and for clarifying that distinction. It's a bit complicated. I resided in Michigan for the entire year. My wife lived in Michigan for a few months, then moved to Vermont. We have lived in separate states for April through the end of 2018. Would that still lead you to believe she is a domiciliary resident?

We are filing jointly on federal, jointly on Michigan (it was pretty straightforward splitting income between states) and are now looking at Vermont. If my wife is a full-year resident of Vermont, it was looking like we were to file separately in Vermont (recomputing our federal 1040 for Vermont purposes), but I didn't see any option to deduct my wife's Michigan wages (made prior to her move to Vermont in April). I did see a reference to IN-112 Calculation B, but I cannot find any such form and form IN-112 does not appear to offer any deduction for out-of-state wages.

Just a little extra info if that makes a difference. Really appreciate your help!
