MFJ PY OH, 2 Singles, different states in 2023

[Margaret CPA in OH]

This is a new one for me so I'm hoping it's obvious.  Couple married in 2023, moved to OH, but each resided and filed in different states for 2022.  So for MD and CT, I'm hoping the data entry is clear that each was single during the part-year in their respective states.  Any 'watch out for' hints?

Just curious, where were they married and which state issued the marriage license

I would think since they were married on 12.31 you would file the states as married also.  Software probably has a way to indicate what part was taxable to each state and then probably a credit on OH return.

I will have to get the date of marriage and location but it was in 2023.  It's just that each filed single for 2022 in two different states (CT and MD) where they each resided until sometime in 2023 when married and had a single address.  I don't know if they had a shared address before relocating to OH.  I was just wondering as for Ohio, the prior address would be different for each and for the part year for each, it would be a different state and not married before joining households in 2023. 

I guess I will have 3 states for this return but just puzzling how to report currently married (yes, I know married as of Dec. 31) but each had a different state address before marriage.  It will be interesting for me.  Good to keep the little gray cells active, always learning!

I don't see a problem with addresses. Just use current OH address on all so they get notices if any are generated.
