Community Property State - 2 Separate State - Advantage to file separately?

[CASFO]

Starting Jan 1 2017 - I have been living in CA and have income in CA, Drivers license in CA,  my wife lives in TX and has income in TX, Drivers license and Vote in TX. Will it be advantageous to us to file state tax as married filing Separate? CA has a state tax, and Texas does not. I thought we could file as separate and split the income and file my taxes in CA giving us the benefit since my wife income will have less income for the year 2017. Please correct me if I am wrong in understanding

More than likely, you would pay more separately since community income must be allocated between both spouses.

Doing income allocation is difficult enough when both spouses live in the same state, bit when in two states, each with different community property laws, it often takes a tax professional that knows the state laws to allocate the income properly.

If you file MFS (Married Filing Separately) keep in mind that there are several limitations to MFS. ...
