Married taxpayers filing jointly federally where the taxpayer lives and works in a different state than the spouse. The taxpayer lives and works in Missouri and the spouse lives and works in Nebraska. Nebraska allows a MFS return for a nonresident taxpayer with a MFJ federal tax return. I think Missouri will only allow MFJ if filing MFJ Federal return. My question is, is it appropriate to file MFJ for Federal and Missouri and MFS for the spouse as a resident of Nebraska? Taxpayer does not have any Nebraska income so I don't think they would be required to file a Nebraska nonresident return. If so, can I efile the Missouri return with the Federal in Proseries and then efile the MFS Nebraska return on it's own, or would it have to be mailed? Any experience in this matter is appreciated!
