Married couple filling MFJ working in different states
Greetings,
For 2020 both my spouse and I have income in different states and file MFJ; I understand that we have to file two state returns one to the state we are both residents of and apply the credit for my spouse’s income for paying taxes to a different state.
My question is when it comes to my spouse’s work state income and filing the nonresident state tax return; can we file this nonresident state return as MFJ and can I omit my income and dependents from my spouse’s nonresident state return but still file MFJ?
(The reciprocity agreement between states unfortunately does not apply to us)
