Tax help for military filers
There does not appear to be any time requirements on the spouse electing to have the same resident state as the active duty military spouse. Here is the NY reference.
There is a rule there that states, " However, the exclusion from being considered a resident for tax purposes does not apply to a military spouse who was domiciled in New York State at the time he or she marries the servicemember."
So NY may ask questions when your spouse was a NY resident in prior years and now is not.
Again, you are within the rules for your spouse to elect your state of residence and be exempt from NY state taxes on her wages earned in NY.
