You didn't state where you lived and the dates you resided
in which state. So, I can't even begin to speculate where
you need to file as a resident or a non-resident.

But, if you work in a state, you are generally required to
pay taxes there. So, you will need to file in NY & MA for
the income earned there. And of course your wife will need
to file in NJ.

If you lived in NY, you were a part year resident in NY.

This is my situation.
I worked in MA from 1/1/2006 to 5/31/2006. I worked in NY
from 6/1/2006 - 31/12/2006. I am married but my wife lives
and works in NJ.

These are my questions.

1). Am I a part year resident for NY ?
2). I have filed federal tax as married filed jointly. Can
I do the same for MA and NY even though my wife was not
a resident of either states?
3). How do I divide my capital gains income from various
sources between states? Does it depend on where I was
at the time of selling them?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Anirudh
