State filing status for CA and PA
I moved from California to Pennsylvania for work reasons 6 months ago. My spouse remained employed in California. We wish to file jointly for our federal tax return. Can he file as resident and I as part-year resident for California tax return? Should we have to file jointly for California (California requires the same filing status as federal), do I file as non-resident for PA? Thank you.

You will file jointly on ALL three returns.
For the state returns, you report ALL of the income, but pay taxes ONLY on the income for the respective state. If you find this over complicated, contact me at [email protected]; I prepare such returns and properly allocate the income on a routine basis. |
