TPs were married in December 2019. The TP was a CO resident the full year and the spouse was a MI resident who lived in Grand Rapids until March 2019.

The MI tax return allows a nonresident checkbox for the TP and a part year resident for the spouse.

However, the Grand Rapids city tax return will not let me indicate the TP was a nonresident and the spouse was a part year resident. An error message appears when I try to select Part-year resident in the MI Information Wks Part II City Resident Status. The message says that nonresident status was selected for the MI return and the Grand Rapids return has to be filed as nonresident also.

How do I correct this to allow the TP to be filed as a Grand Rapids nonresident and the spouse filed as a Grand Rapids part-year resident?

Thank you.
