Under the Military Spouse Residency Relief Act, the nonmilitary spouse may use their military spouse’s resident state when filing their taxes.
If you file that way, you would file a married filing jointly tax return with Indiana but would likely owe because the nonmilitary spouse did not withhold Indiana taxes.
Then the nonmilitary spouse would file a nonresident tax return (because the spouse is a resident of Indiana) and request a refund of Virginia taxes withheld.
