Tax help for military filers

@dez_15 

 

Though for a married couple where both are in the military.....the military member wishing to change their State-of-Legal-Residence (SLR)?   They must actually be posted in the state they want to change it to.  Thus, if the military-MT resident wanted to change their SLR to WA, to match their other military-serving spouse, they must be posted in WA....and not as a TDY....an actual PCS to WA.   

 

Then they would take the steps to become a legal resident of that state, and file a form DD2058 with HR/Finance (not sure which...but you'd check with them first to find out the details and get the form)
