Tax help for military filers

I'd go with the "More Info Needed"  that was first requested above.  

 

There is not a simple answer until you detail your HOR/SLR  (no guarantee it will be simple though) ..….and with new MSRRA for civilian spouse's, what state does yoru spouse claim as his/her SLR ?    (but Spouse could also be in the military, and have a separate HOR/SLR too)

 

Even so, home state's vary on how they tax their Military member's military income when posted out-of-state.  Soem states tax military income no matter what (except Combat pay), others exempt it, but insist on getting a tax return filed anyhow, because other forms of income (interest, dividends, investment income, etc) will be subject to state taxes.   Handling of state taxes for the working civilian spouse-of-military person varies too, depending on whether both spouse's are claiming the same SLR or not.....so the details about what states are involved become critical
