Excerpt from VA instructions.

Spouses of Military Personnel: For Taxable Year 2018
and after, the Servicemember Civil Relief Act (SCRA), as
amended by Veterans Benefits and Transition Act, provides
that the spouse of a servicemember may to elect to use
the same residence for state tax purposes as that of the
servicemember. Under the SCRA, an electing spouse of a
military servicemember may be exempt from Virginia income
tax on wages if the servicemember is present in Virginia in
compliance with military orders. More information is available
in Tax Bulletin 19-2 available at www.tax.virginia.gov.

There should be a spot on the VA information worksheet to indicate that the spouse elects to choose the same residency has the Military TP.

There shoudl also be a question for the TP.

The question is on the states that I have filed for military AZ, AL & KY with all the TP electing to be resident of TN where they firs entered the military or changed to be a resident of the state.
