Newly married filing jointly for federal but only one of us has state taxes (Nebraska & Texas)

I filled out the federal form as married filing jointly but am confused on how to submit state taxes based on our situation:

  • I lived and worked in Nebraska from Jan-March
  • Moved to Texas in March
  • Got married in May
  • Worked new job in Texas Sep-Dec
  • Husband lived & worked in Texas the entire year

I understand that I need to file for Nebraska as a part time resident and that Texas doesn't have state income tax so we don't need to submit anything there. But do I need to select married filing jointly for my Nebraska return as well? Would that take our entire year's combined income into account instead of just my income for the 2-ish months I worked there?

If you are marred at the end of the year you are married.

  • Only your income should be posted to the Nebraska tax return
  • Your husbands should not be included.
  • When entering the Nebraska state return it will ask to confirm what income was earned in the state.
