For the future, your spouse can choose to claim your state of legal residency (SLR) / Home of Record (HOR) for tax purposes because of the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act (MSRRA) even when being stationed in a different state. Her income from other states would then be taxable in your SLR. Or she could choose to become a resident of the state that you are living in and you would have to file separate state returns.
