Military Spouse

A nonmilitary spouse of a service member, who qualifies under Military Spouse Residency Relief Act (MSRRA), can choose to keep that same legal residence as the military spouse.  Check out Military Spouses and State Taxes .

For information on guidance for each state when dealing with MSSRA, see the second column of links.

Note: If a spouse does not qualify and/or does not choose MSSRA, they are considered a resident of the current state they are living in - depending on the resident rules of that state.
