How do I file (both federal and state) if my husband lives/works in Texas and I live/work in Missouri?

You can file as Married Filing Separately or Jointly for the federal and then you can file Married Filing Separately for MO.  Since your husband lives in TX, he does not need to file a return.

Similar situation. Married in July 2024, I'm a NY resident and husband is CT resident. We had a child in August 2024. How should/can we file?

You'd file Married Filing Jointly for your federal tax return.

 

If you and your husband were full-year residents of your respective states and never a resident of each other's states, you'd file Married Filing Separately for your state returns and only include your own income on your respective returns.
