My husband and I got married in May 2006, he is active military and has Iowa residency, I held a job& residency in IL and FL, I was able to file our federal taxes no problem. But with our state taxes I'm lost. How do I file for each state without having my IL & FL income count on his Iowa return and vice versa, what forms do I fill out....HELP, I don't want to get audited after our first year of marriage!!
Thanks to anyone who helps! :)

you can file separate for state purposes. your husband can file an IA 1040 since he is an IA resident.

where do you live?
you would file an IL 1040 (if you are an IL resident). you would file Schedule NR if you were a non-resident or part-year resident of IL. FL does not have an income tax so you would not need to file in FL.

check out the website below. it has info on all state taxes. maybe your husband is eligible for some tax exemption since he is in the military.

You need to file your state tax for the state that you work in regardless of the state your husband lives in.
