Hello,
I’m a military spouse of an active duty service member who is stationed in DC. We live in VA and our resident state is Wyoming. I work remotely for a company in California. I filed a California form 540NR, which indicates our state residence as WY and that my spouse is in the military. According to the CA FTB website, the military spouse can only take advantage of the MSRRA if stationed in CA. I’m hoping for clarification on this detail as a remote worker, and if I filed the CA return correctly.

It states, “A military servicemember’s nonmilitary spouse is considered a nonresident for tax purposes if the servicemember and spouse have the same domicile outside of California and the spouse is in California solely to be with the servicemember who is serving in compliance with Permanent Change of Station orders.”
