Tax help for military filers

For Virginia, you can file a joint non-resident return or you can file a separate non-resident return there for just yourself. You would have to try it both ways to see which is best. If you file jointly, you would get credit on your North Carolina return for taxes paid on the same income in Virginia so you wouldn't be double taxed.

 

To do the separate return in Virginia, you would need to prepare a separate federal return in TurboTax just for yourself in order to generate the state return. Then, you just file the state return. You may find it better to use the TurboTax desktop product as you can do multiply returns with it.
