Check your residency status- if you file as a nonresident you should get all of your withholding back if you qualify for MSRRA. If the MSRRA applies, you have state residency in your husband's Home of Record state because you were a resident of that state too and moved to the new state because of his duty station.

Also check if the state has an exemption form- this will save you from having to file at all.
