Do I need to file a return for Deleware when my husband didn't work for all of 2022 but collected Social Security and I am active duty military stationed in Deleware?

If your military State of Legal Residence (SLR) is not Delaware, then you would need to file a Delaware tax return only if you had Delaware-source income other than your military pay.

Your non-military spouse has no obligation to file in Delaware. Delaware does not tax Social Security benefits.

If your home of record is not Delaware, you can choose your residence in the other state and your spouse can do the same. In that case you would not be required to file a tax return in Delaware.
