State tax filing

You are required to file the Minnesota as Joint. 

You will have two options:  Nonmilitary spouses may elect to use the same residence as the servicemember for tax purposes under the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act of 2018.  This will make you a Minnesota resident and you would file Hawaii as a nonresident if you had any withholding.  

Or You can file the Hawaii tax return and use the taxes you paid in Hawaii as a credit on the Minnesota tax return.
