If you and your spouse are filing a joint federal return but you work in or are residents of different states, you may need to file separate state returns. (Well, you won't need to file one for Texas, but the principle applies.) Sometimes this is required by state tax law; other times it is to your best interest to not include your non-resident spouse's income on your state return, so your state won't try to tax their income.
The calculations you need to do can be done in TurboTax online. It will be tedious, but it is the best way to accurately minimize your taxes.
Please see our TurboTax FAQ below on how to file a Joint Federal return and Separate State returns.
