Greetings,

In 2007, my spouse worked in NY for the first half of the year and lived and worked in MI for the second half of the year. I have worked in NY. What kind of taxes return(s) we should file? Thank you.

We need to know where you and your spouse lived - did you live in NY all year? Or did you move from NY to MI? Without knowing the details, you probably need to file IT-203 with New York as either a part-year resident, or a non-resident who earned income in NY. As for MI, they have a form MI-1040 , and you will also need to complete their schedule NR if you were a part-year resident of MI.

Thanks for getting back. I and my kid lived in NY all year. My spouse lived in NY for the first half and then MI for the second half.

Thank you.

How much the petiotioner has to show the income for sponsoring the spouse ? I mean the income of the petioner shouldn't be less than $25000 or any number?
