You will need to file a return as a non-resident for Delaware and report the income of the spouse.

 

The instructions from Delaware for a non-resident require that a return needs to be filed if there is any gross income during the tax year from sources in Delaware. Delaware does not have reciprocity with any state.

Thanks for the reply - but that’s not the question- the pa income is getting included in the Delaware return - the pa income is from a pa resident not working in de therefore should not be subject to de tax

The Delaware non-resident tax return uses the Federal income from any state or source as part of the calculation to determine the Delaware taxable income.  The Delaware taxable income is a prorated amount of the total income from your Federal return based on the income from Delaware sources versus the Federal income.

 

You will not be able to exclude the Pennsylvania income from being included as part of the Delaware return.
