How to file 3 state taxes?
My husband lived in Maryland, but his income was from Indiana. I lived and worked in Delaware. I also had a new born in DE in 2008. How do I file these 3 state taxes? This is what I thought: - File federal tax jointly - File nonresident IN jointly - File nonresident DE jointly - File resident MD jointly Does it matter whose name appears first, and do we need to be consistent on order of names in each state return? What if we file resident return in DE and MD, both separately?

- Dear Jess: Sounds like you have a handle on it. Remember to apply for a credit on MD if you are reporting income on MD that was already taxed by IN or DE. This advice was prepared based on our understanding of the tax law in effect at the time it was written as it applies to the facts that you provided. Click on my profile to read more.
