Oh. How quaint.
My wife and I are both active duty military, and for tax purposes residents of two different states (NY and CT, respectively.) This seems to create some confusion come tax time with our filing status for our state returns
We file Married Filing Joint for Federal taxes In NY, it states you must file the same status as your federal. CT makes no such restriction, as far as I know.

Question is, do we file MFJ in both states, and just indicate that only one of us is a resident on each one? Or am I thinking about this totally the wrong way? We tried to go to H&R Block to get their take on it but after the woman working there couldn't add or understand the difference between Connecticut and Kentucky we had to leave. Any help is appreciated tax goons.
