My husband and I just moved to Mississippi. I want to make sure I have completed the MS State Income tax form correctly. My husband is not working currently. Suggestions?

As of now, I have it completed with Married Filing Jointly with a $12,000 deduction.  Should I change it?

TurboTax will help to guide you through the process of completing a part-year return for your states, both the one you lived in prior to moving to Mississippi and the Mississippi return.

For Mississippi, if you are filing a joint return, the $12,000 exemption can be used even if only one spouse has Mississippi income.  Be sure you are reporting only income earned while you were a resident of Mississippi or income from Mississippi sources.

Take a look at the following TurboTax article for some further guidance about filing part-year state returns:

How do I file if I moved to a different state last year?

....and you need to define "just moved" ???   

We're into March of 2022.  Did you move in 2021, or 2022 ?

...if you "just moved" in Jan or Feb of 2022, you don't file a MS tax return at all for 2021.
