Have a client that is from Idaho, in the military and stationed in California. Client married a California person mid-year and reside together in a California apartment. It is my understanding that the taxpayer does not pay Calif. state tax and the spouse can claim Idaho residency from marriage date forward. Sound correct? Thanks!
Military spouse can claim a NEW state of residency once they have established residency in that state. After that they can remain a legal resident of that state even if they move as long as they remain married to the military member.
In the situation you described I don't think the spouse can change their state of residency because they have not ESTABLISHED a new state of residency.
