Two States NY and MA married filing jointly part year resident questions

This is my situation. I worked in MA from 1/1/2006 to 5/31/2006. I worked in NY from 6/1/2006 - 31/12/2006. I am married but my wife lives and works in NJ.

These are my questions.

1). Am I a part year resident for NY ? 2). I have filed federal tax as married filed jointly. Can I do the same for MA and NY even though my wife was not a resident of either states? 3). How do I divide my capital gains income from various sources between states? Does it depend on where I was at the time of selling them?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks, Anirudh

You never stated where you lived. Did you live in NY when you worked there? Did you live in NJ (or MA) and commute? If you lived in NY, you were a part year resident in NY. Seth

You only stated where you worked. You didn't state where you lived and the dates you resided in which state. So, I can't even begin to speculate where you need to file as a resident or a non-resident. But, if you work in a state, you are generally required to pay taxes there. So, you will need to file in NY & MA for the income earned there. And of course your wife will need to file in NJ. ___________________________________
