State tax filing

For Virginia, if only one spouse had income from Virginia sources, a separate return must be filed under Status 4.

 

However, under the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act, if she is present in Virginia solely to be with you (service member spouse who is permanently stationed here in compliance with military orders), shew could choose to keep her Texas residency and report her Virginia income to Texas (and since Texas does not have income tax she would not have to file). 

 

Use Form 763-S to request a refund. Be sure to complete the questionnaire on the back of the form, and attach the documents requested, including your W-2(s).
