Tax help for military filers

Be aware that Section 302 of the VBTA Act of 2018 allows the spouse of an active duty servicemember to file as a resident of the servicemember's SLR (State of Legal Residence) if they wish, even if the spouse has no other connection with that state.  This can be a very advantageous option.
