either you file seperately, and both of you need to file two state taxes(I assume both states have state tax), or file jointly, but still, you two will have two state tax forms.
by the way, the tax status of the two states could be: Part-year resident of A, and Part-year resident of B (If you qualify being a tax resident in both state); otherwise, you are Full-year resident of A/B, tax non-resident of B/A.
I think if you file jointly, you would be Part-year resident of B and Part-year resident of A as well (Maybe your hubby has changed his car plate from state A to state B, then he is a state B resident for sure)

married joinlty,AB都报resident或者其中一个报part-year resident,具体看你那两个州怎么规定的。
另外，把一个州交的税在另一个里面算成credit减掉。如果有一个是part-year resident,先算这个，再放到另一个里面去算credit.
are you sure you could be part-year resident for one state, and full-year resident for the other? I think it should be part-year for both, or Full-year resident for one, and non-resident for the other. Could anyone comfirm it?
Exactly. He changed his driver's license from A state to B state. However, I was not able to do that since I was considered still a resident of A (for my F1 status in state A) by DMV people. That is the point which makes me confused. How to define a resident? by visa status or by your residence? Thank you for your input.
It really depends state by state. Check your state instruction, it will explain full-year residents, part-year residents, and non-residents of your states. I think your hubby's case is that he has changed his plate, started paying tax for StateB, he is considered as a State B resident; while you are temperarily staying in State B, you don't have a property under your name in State B, you don't work in State B, and you work in State A, you are State A resident.
