Tax help for military filers

Yes, if you meet the requirements to be considered a nonresident because you were stationed outside Connecticut and spent less than 30 days in Connecticut then the military income is not taxable in Connecticut. You are not required to file a state return unless you had other income in Connecticut.

 

"If your home of record is Connecticut you are a resident of Connecticut.  As a resident you must file a resident return and pay any tax due unless you meet all of the following conditions for the entire taxable year:

  1. You did not maintain a permanent place of abode in Connecticut;
  2. You maintained a permanent place of abode outside Connecticut; and
  3. You spent 30 days or less in Connecticut.

If you meet all three conditions, you are considered a nonresident of Connecticut for the taxable year. You do not have to file a Connecticut income tax return unless you had Connecticut tax withheld or you had any income from Connecticut sources." (Connecticut Department of Revenue)

 

Did your husband have CT state taxes withheld?
