filing separate states

[ninascott3]

My husband is an AL resident and I am a NY resident can we file together?

Yes, you can file a joint return for New York and Alabama.

However, please note: for New York, if you file a joint return, both spouse are treated as New York residents, so you will want to prepare Alabama first, as you will be able to claim a credit for the taxes paid to Alabama.
