My husband and I have income from two states. Can we jointly file for state tax? Or we have to file separately to our own state?

If we can jointly file, which state should be?

Thanks so much.

If I have a 1099-MISC income (only several thousand <3k) in NYC, but I do not live there. Do I need to file state income tax to NYC? Since I have my own expenses for this income, how do I deduct these expenses? Is there a specific form that I need to file?

BTW, is there a "recovery tax rebate" form downloadable from IRS website?

Many thanks.

I did not get 600 last year (2007) with a valid SSN but not a resident alien yet. I joint file with a resident alien spouse.

This year(2008) there will be one person with ITIN on the file, can I claim that $600?

I use the work sheet on the instruction of form 1040, it seems that I can get. But I'm concerned since some people say the family cannot get stimulus money if there is one ITIN. However, the ITIN does not in the 2007 year.

Thanks.
