Use MI information worksheet Part II to show one spouse resident and the other spouse non-resident.  Then use Sch NR to allocate income to MI spouse.  Use Worksheet 6 on Sch NR to allocate exemption amount for non-resident.  Hope this helps.

Another option is filing Married Filing Separate returns for each spouse at the state level.  So a MFS Michigan return for the husband and a MFS West Virginia return for the wife.  You just need to be sure you properly allocate the income.

MI has a little gotcha.  If your clients file a Federal MFJ return, they must file joint for MI.  If the Federal return is MFS, then they have the option of MI filing as MFJ or MFS.
