Military Return for 2 homes of record

Good evening. 

How do I input a return for a military couple that has two different home of records? For example, my taxpayer has Nebraska as his home of record and his wife has Georgia. They both have income and I need them to be taxed based on their home of record. 

 

How do I fix the return so the spouse doesn't file a return in their spouses home of record?

 

Thank you in advance,

Cassidy

    3 files. MFJ. Then split into MFS. Check carefully and use the 2 MFS files for the 2 states.

    I reached out to Lacerte help and they sent me an email with some directions but it requires splitting them and filing separate. I only want to file married joint for federal but married separate for their states. Does anyone know how to do that?

    The more I know the more I don’t know.
