Couple filed MFJ fed
He lived in PA Jan and Feb
NJ March - Dec
She lived in PA year round
filed full year resident PA and full year resident NJ
Received PA notice they owe $2,000 and their income is missing $50,000, but the $50,000 was put in the NJ return.
Do I have to file them MFS fed and both states? Can they stay MFJ fed and only do MFS states? with part year resident him PA/NJ and full year her only PA?

I did not do that. The taxpayer self-filed last year and did that.
What is the best way to amend this?

Most states have the option of filing an MFJ, part-year return. You'd have to read the instructions for those forms.
Do the taxpayers really have separate households in two states? Or is the NJ employee commuting to that job?
