H1 marrying a F1

Hi
I am on H1 visa and have married a student, who is on F1. She has a job with her university and have made salary reported on W-2. I work in another state and she is studying in another state. I am thinking of filing as married filing jointly for my federal return. Please advice, what status should be used for her state tax return. She had filed as non-resident last year. Or should be file seprately this year.
Thanks

Each state has different rules about how the taxpayer has to file. You need to visit the tax portion of the state government website. You *can* file jointly and both be considered resident aliens.
