I am active duty military and my wife is considered a nonmilitary spouse. We are stationed in Texas and my wife has been working in Texas for a year. My home of record is Oklahoma. I am trying to determine whether or not she is technically a Texas resident due to the fact that Oklahoma is trying to tax her income even though she lives and works in Texas. I'm aware of the MSRRA. Looking at what it takes to be a Texas resident on the state website, she has numerous documents that can prove this residency. My question is, for tax purposes, does the simple fact of having those documents and items qualify her for Texas residency; therefore, she does not have to file with me? The Turbo Tax phone line operator told me they can't help since it is a state tax question and not a federal issue.
