I am the spouse of a military service member, living in Virginia. Am I exempt from filing Virginia income tax returns under the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act?
Yes, provided you are present in Virginia solely to be with your service member spouse who is permanently stationed here in compliance with military orders, you and your spouse have the same domicile or legal state of residence, and the income you received in Virginia is from wages or salaries earned as an employee, or is derived from certain limited self-employment, as discussed below. You must meet all of these criteria to qualify for relief.
