State tax filing
Hello @ordermurden First, thank you very much for your service.
I am not an expert on this but a quick look and I found this Turobtax FAQ
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/military/help/military-spouses-and-state-taxes/00/26149
and this from the Virginia Tax authority
https://www.tax.virginia.gov/military-spouses-residency-relief-act-faqs
It appears that your spouse's wages for a job performed in VA are not VA source income as long as he or she was in VA to be with you while you were permanently stationed in VA.
If your spouse had other VA source income (rental income or a business) that is probably VA income and not exempt (though it seems that some spousal business might be).
If your spouse had VA withholding you can get it back by filing a special form described on the VA tax site linked above.
