married filing joint on fed tax live in north Carolina wife works in north Carolina and I work in Virginia .how do we file our state returns? Virginia says you have to file separate returns and north Carolina says you have to file the same as you filed on federal. so would this be a north Carolina state filed jointly and a Virginia filed separate just for the husband. can you do this?

North Carolina does require that you file using the same filing status as you used on the federal return. Please view the North Carolina link below.

Please view the TurboTax FAQ below if you need further instructions on how to file this type of state return.
