State tax filing

Unfortunately, since you did not reside within Massachusetts with your spouse, you will not be able to file as Married Filing Jointly in MA.  

 

Massachusetts specifically states you must reside there for the same period of time during the year.  If you do not, you will need to file as married filing separately for MA.
