Husband works in North Dakota and his "residence" is Idaho, how to file?
Hi I have a somewhat confusing question that I would love for someone to answer. My husband works full time in ND. While he is working there he lives in a "man camp" that he doesn't have to pay for, and on his time off he travels to me and my daughter in Canada. I am currently waiting on my green card so that's why I am still up here. Anyways his family moved from Texas to Idaho in 2018 so because my husband pays rent up here and has a place to live for free in ND he used his parents address in Idaho for mail and got a drivers license there, but he is literally there maybe two weeks out of the year. So now we are trying to do his taxes (late because of issues with a terrible accountant) and I am not sure what to do about Idaho state taxes. His employer collected federal and ND state taxes from his pay stubs, but now when I'm trying to file his Idaho state taxes it says he owes quite a lot. Which confuses me because I thought two states weren't allowed to tax the same income. Does he qualify to be a part-year residence or no? I am not sure because his license is from ID but we can prove from pay stubs and his passport that he is never there. If anyone can give any advice I would be so grateful. Thank you!
