Nonmilitary spouses can use their military spouse's resident state when filing their taxes. The Military Spouse Residency Relief Act (MSRRA) allows a nonmilitary spouse of a service member to keep the same resident state of the military spouse regardless of which state they live in. The Veterans Benefits and Transition Act allows that choice to be made regardless of when they were married.
To change the resident state of the military spouse,
- Go to My Info down the left side of the screen.
- Click Edit to the right of the spouse's name.
- Change the state at My spouse's state of residence (on December 31, 2022).
