Why does TurboTax not let me take the military benefits subtraction in virginia?

I'm a 48 year old retired veteran. My first $30k in the state of VA should be untaxed but TurboTax says I'm not eligible.

My husband is active duty overseas. I currently live in the USA, how do we file our taxes together since he’s military and I have a regular job that’s not a government?

We are filing together I just don’t know how to go about it, or is it a different process since he’s active duty military and we not living in the same house currently.

I am military, my home of record is Virginia, my spouses residence is Texas, but we were stationed in NC and she made money there. It’s saying file separately, why?

When we file separately we lose about 6k, and we also lose a lot of credit but filing jointly we get more credit and refunds. Why can’t I file my state taxes as usual and her files hers? Why is it saying we have to file separately

I am an American resident in Germany. I receive an IRA distribution , which is taxed by Germany. Can I take a tx credit / deduction for these Gm. taxes?

turbotax seems to hinge on "foreign income", which this isn't, but Germany taxes it anyway. The way I read the tax treaty it should be taxed by the Germans and refunded in some amount by the Americans (so as not to be double taxed on the same thing).

If myhusband and I are both active duty, stationed in the same state but have different states of residence/home of record, how do we file state returns?
