Question

State Taxes when married filing separately and rental income

My husband files IL state taxes and I file Virginia.  (He is military and that's his home of record and I prefer to keep my VA residency which I can since we are out of the country.)   We have rental income of about 10K for a house in VA.  The house is held jointly.  Do we each claim the full 10K on our separate state taxes or do we split the amount so we each only claim 5K?  It seems like we should each only do 5K since we both own the house but I'm not sure if that's correct.

    That is correct.  You would split the rental income and expenses on your separate returns.
