We got married in Dec 06 month. We want to file federal tax 2007 married jointly. She lives in Alabama and I live in Wisconsin. I am a resident alien and she is not. For federal, I can apply 1040 R, jointly married.

My question is whether we have to file state tax married jointly?

If I file jointly I need to use 1NPR of Wisconsin and I don't know whether I will get standard deduction. If I file separately, I will get standard deduction for state tax.

Please let me know.

Normally if you file federal return as married filing jointly, then you file state returns as married filing jointly.

On Alabama return, your spouse is resident and will declare her income. You are nonresident and have no Alabama income.
