And now he is self employed. How would I go about doing the taxes for this situation? He received his w2 from Florida and his 1099 from Michigan (current residence). Do we file seperate state taxes and a combined federal? I will most likely have the done professionally but I am nervous about what we may end up owing...so I want to check it out without fully filing. Also, If I have no income should we still file married filing joint?

Florida does not have state income tax therefore you do not need a Florida return.
only thing you need to file is a married/joint federal return and a Michigan married/joint return. I believe that only the 1099 from Michigan is taxable by the state of Michigan, not the W-2 wages from Florida.
you can only file as married file jointly

My husband and I go and have our taxes done for us and I dont work they just include this into it and you will get your tax break for the married part and then now that he is self imployed taxes are going to be really different for that situation. But its always better to have you on the taxes even if no money was brought in by you. It jsut shows that he is head of house and a few other things. SO he takes care of all your expences and all that as well so you are his dependent. It will be good to file with him Jointly.

There is no income tax in Flordia, so you do not need to file a return there. File it all in Michigan. If both states had income taxes, then you file a non-resident for FL, but since they don't, you don't need to worry.
