Military Spouses Residency Relief Act (MSRRA)

[chrisek214]

My spouse and I are currently stationed in WA state. My wife has been working here and WA does not charge income taxes. While doing our taxes, the MSRRA put her residency as my home of record (PA) which has income taxes. Is there a way I can put her residency as WA state? When adding another state, WA does not populate. We are married filing joint. Thank you.

Yes, she can choose to become a WA state resident and you would enter WA State in the "My Info" section. Since WA State doesn't have an income tax TurboTax will not populate a State return.
