LD是resident alien，我是non-resident alien，对于联邦税来说，我俩填1040，用married filing jointly。

可是我俩的州税是仍然可以一起报，还是必须分开报？有点迷糊，请教大家！

我在IL的1040的instruction上看到这么一段话：

You are an Illinois resident if you were domiciled in Illinois for the entire tax year. Your domicile is the place where
you reside and the place where you intend to return after temporary absences. Temporary absences may include
duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, residence in a foreign country, out-of-state residence as a student, or out-of-state
residence during the winter or summer. If you are absent from Illinois for one year or more, we will presume you
are a nonresident of Illinois.

Note: If you filed a joint federal return and one spouse is an Illinois resident while the other spouse is a
nonresident or a part-year resident, you may fi le separate Illinois returns. If you fi le a joint Illinois return, you will
both be taxed as residents.

对于州里面说的resident的这个定义和联邦的是不是一致的？怎么感觉看上面一段话，觉得只要2007年一年都居住在米国就OK了，不知道理解对不对。
