I recently got married and am filing jointly for federal. My spouse is a legal resident of North Dakota and I live with him there as of October 2019. I still have my drivers license in and go to school in Minnesota. I also work in North Dakota but filled out a Minnesota reciprocity form to have my income taxed out of Minnesota. Is there any way to file jointly for state?
North Dakota requires the same married filing jointly filing status as used on the federal return. The ND instructions are that married couples who file a joint federal return and have different states of residence must file a joint North Dakota return and complete Schedule ND-1R.
But, because you moved from MN to ND in October, you may be "domiciled" in ND now. If you consider ND to now be your home, you qualify as a ND resident as of the end of the year.
If you had MN income in 2019 prior to the time you moved to ND, you will need to file as a MN part-year resident to allocate income between the MN and ND tax returns. MN also requires you use the same married filing jointly status used on the federal tax return.
