I live and worked in MA and my wife worked in NJ for entire year 2010. I earned much more income than my wife. we are filing jointly for federal. for states, my tax cpa is filing for NJ as though I live there and it is making me to pay to state. I have already paid my state taxes to MA. It might be due to MA state tax is less than for NJ. If I didnt live in NJ, I am not sure if I should pay taxes for income I didnt earn in NJ. Can we file taxes jointly for federal and separately for states?
thanks.
thanks.
