If you choose to file a joint return for Nebraska, you will have to both be treated as residents and report all income. You can choose to file a separate Nebraska return, but you will have to create a "mock" federal return. You would need to do this same with a separate New York return.

See How do I prepare a joint federal return and separate state.

Would I need the desktop version for this then ?

No. You can create separate online accounts. It is quicker and cheaper to use the desktop but not required.

The desktop version allows you to start with the basic information and save it. Add or subtract and save with an new name. Add or subtract more, save with another name. You can have many files on the desktop version.
