State tax filing

No. Under the MSRRA, the income of a nonmilitary spouse of a military servicemember for services performed in California is not considered to be from sources within this state if the spouse is not a California resident because the spouse is in California solely to be with the servicemember serving in compliance with military orders and both have the same out-of-state domicile.

 

California source income not covered by the exemption includes income from:

 

• Real or tangible personal property located in California.

• A trade or business located in California except to the extent it receives income for services performed by the MSRRA-qualifying servicemember’s spouse.
