State tax filing
In reading your story again, I have to wonder about your wife moving to NJ. Did she really move there with the intention of that being her new home while you were in CA? Did she change her license, place of voting and settle down into a new life or was she there just waiting and hoping for another job? More passing through?
Perhaps you were both residents of CA the whole year and your wife was just working in NJ for part of the year? File nonresident NJ and resident CA with credit for tax paid to NJ.
If she was a resident of NJ for part of the year, then you would need to file as part year CA residents just to get the money straightened out for CA to tax just CA money. All of yours and part of hers.
