I reside in Virginia due to my spouses military orders.  I work remotely for a company in my home state of Washington .  None of the work relates to Virginia sales .  Do i have to file a non resident VA return ?

    It depends- You would not be required to file a nonresident Virginia tax return if you qualify for the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act (MSRRA):

     

    The following conditions must be met to qualify under the MSRRA:

    • The service member is living on military orders in a state that is not his resident state.
    • The spouse is in that state solely to live with the service member.
    • Both the service member and spouse have the same resident state.
    • The spouse only pays taxes on income in their state of legal residency when they meet the above conditions.
