Filing taxes with spouse living in different states

Hello,

My spouse and I got married in Dec 2022 while I was living and working in MA and he was living and working in TX. In 2022, we filed Federal taxes jointly and state taxes as married filing separate. I moved to Texas in Nov 2023.

For 2023, can I do the same where I file my MA state taxes as married filing separate and Federal as married filing jointly. I am confused since TX is a community property state.

Yes, you can file the same.  The rules in TX do not affect your MA state return. Since your husband was a non resident and has no MA income, you can still file MA separate and file federal jointly.
