Tax help for military filers

She is taxed on the money she earned from physically working in Maryland (MD).. She is allowed to retain her residency with her military spouse but any income earned that is not military while residing in MD is taxable.

  • 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.

If Florida (FL) had a personal income tax then a credit would be received. In this case since FL has no income tax then there is not a credit available. The good news is that the military pay is not taxable.
