My husband just left active duty military. Every year we have put state residency as his home of record (Washington). Once he left active duty in November we moved to Florida. We haven’t bought a house or renting anywhere. We live with family.
So my question is, when we put his state of residency is now Florida (he has a Florida driver license now) it asks if he lived anywhere else this year. Do we put Washington or do we put Hawaii where we were stationed?
We have never ever put Hawaii as residency since we are not suppose too when you are just stationed there.
Should we just leave it as Washington this year? He has been door dashing while looking for a job here in Florida too if that makes a difference. Both states do not have taxes. AND his W2 does say Washington since military goes off home of record.
You umderssad the situation. Stationed in HI is not residency in HI. Move is WA to FL. Old to new residency.
Yes, you would have two states entered in your tax return for 2022. Since your husband's home of record was Washington that would be listed as where you lived before moving to Florida at the end of the year.
To enter the new address:
If your husband received income from DoorDash that was earned in 2022, he would include that on the tax return along with his W-2 income. If he earned less than $600 from DoorDash last year, the company would not send a 1099-NEC. He is still required to report any income he received. He is considered self-employed and will file a Schedule C.
Here's how to add your self-employment income:
Mileage and other expenses such as phone payments can be used to reduce taxable income for Schedule C.
