Military overseas. What is my spouse's state of residence if we were stationed overseas for all of 2017? Should I use Foreign or U.S. Possession from the dropbox?

Your spouse's state of residence is not affected (changed) because of your overseas assignment -  whatever your and your spouse's state of residence was before you moved overseas stays the same.

Active-duty military and their spouses are considered to live in their respective state HOR no matter where they are stationed. Their active-duty pay (and the spouse's civilian pay) are considered to be earned in their state HOR. 

When you complete the My Info Personal Interview:

1. Select (Spouse HOR state) as the state of residence;
2. Answer "No" when asked if you "Lived in another state in 2017?" That question only applies if you changed your state of residence in 2017.
3. When asked if you "Earned money in another state?", answer "No" (unless the military member had non-military income in the state where you are stationed).
