Former spouse is not listed unless you have a special situation related to the Internal Revenue Code. VA subtractions gives these rules:
Military Retirement
Beginning with your 2022 Virginia income tax return (returns filed in 2023), you can claim a subtraction for certain military benefits if you’re 55 or older. These include:
- military retirement income received for service in the Armed Forces of the United States,
- qualified military benefits received pursuant to a section of the Internal Revenue Code regarding certain military benefits,
- benefits paid to the surviving spouse of a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States under the Survivor Benefit Plan program established by the U.S. Department of Defense, and
- military benefits paid to the surviving spouse of a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States.
If you claim this subtraction, you can’t claim another subtraction, deduction, credit, or exemption for the same income.
