MFJ. As you go through the program, it will ask about military. You can file a joint return and claim all of the taxable income. The program will know which questions to ask about the military pay to make sure you pay the right amount of tax. Your husband is still a resident of his home of record (probably where you are) planning to come home to you. He is just away for work. Depending on the state where he works, he may need to file a tax return just letting them know he exists in the state. If he has a civilian side job, he would need to pay state tax on that income.
Resident – residents entering military service remain resident for income tax purposes, regardless of duty station, until a change of legal residence has been made.
Please reply with any further questions or concerns. The program will walk you through and we are here to help with any extra issues!
