This is our first year filing taxes jointly and we submit our federal return. My husbands legal residence is TX so he doesn't need to submit anything for TX since he is military. Mine is IL and while I don't pay state taxes for my military pay, I still file a yearly return.
When I submit our federal filing jointly return it populated our state and it shows both our names. Is it legal to submit it (it shows $0 owed which is correct) with both our names is only I am the IL resident and he is from TX? Or do I need to file a separate state return for IL with my name only? - and if so how do I do this, I tried creating a second account and putting in only my W2 info and it showed me owing state taxes which is incorrect.
