- I'm a California resident who married a woman from Pennsylvania earlier
- this year. She had about $7,000 in earned PA income before she moved. She
- had another $4,000 earned here. I have been in CA all year and will earn
- around $45,000. I'm not sure how to handle this for tax purposes. We'd like
- to file jointly on our federal return. However, would we then also have to
- file jointly on her PA return? I don't feel like having the entire $56,000
- subject to PA taxation when only $7K was earned there. How would this tax be
- calculated? How should we file (federal, CA, and PA). I've always done my
- taxes quite easily in the past, but now I'm confused.
