States are another story.
You may have to file separately, if your residency status is
not the same.

I worked in only Delaware in 2006. I bought a house in New
Jersey in 2006. My wife and I got married Dec 2006. My
wife worked in NJ for 2006. I had no NJ tax withheld since
I told no one I moved to NJ until Jan1 2007

My questions is: I was thinking about filing a joint federal
return, but for the state returns, I would file in Delaware
separately and she would file in NJ separately.

What is the easiest way to do this or should I do something
else?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
