What was your husband's state of legal residence and what was you state of legal residence (not where you were stationed together, but where you came from to be with your husband)? Also, where were your stationed and did you earn income there?
My husband's was florida,and mine was Oklahoma. I moved to Virginia with him and became a resident and worked in Virginia as well. His orders are to Virginia. Thank you
Your husband's state of
legal residence is FL and he is exempt from VA tax on his military income while
stationed in VA.
As the spouse of an
active-duty military member, your state
of legal residence does not have to change just because you are accompanying
your husband to VA as a result of his assignment. In many cases, you can
even be exempt from VA state income tax on your VA income.
To be exempt from VA state income tax on your VA income,
however, VA requires you and your husband have to be residents of the same
state. In your situation, that
is not the case.
Now it gets a bit tricky. If you are still an OK resident, you
and your husband can file a joint, non-resident VA tax return. You will still
pay tax on your VA income, but he will not pay tax on his military
income.
If, however, you are a VA resident, you
will file a joint federal return with your husband and you will each have to
file a separate VA return. You must file on Form 760, he must file Form
763.
