My future husband and I live in separate states, Arkansas and Mississippi.
I have a question concerning taxes for married couples living in two
different states and each person owning a home.  If income taxes are filed
jointly, how does the couple determine which home is the primary residence
to take advantage of mortgage interest payments as itemized deductions?  Or,
can both houses be used in calculating the itemized deduction?  Are there
other tax issues to consider for a two-state couple?  I probably have not
supplied enough information for anyone to assist me, but I am not really
sure what all is involved to know what information to provide.  I do
appreciate any comments you may have.

Many thanks,

June
