Question

Military state spose tax exemption

My wife worked in NY last year and on her W-2 block 17 shows a state income tax. Since we are both residents of a state that doesn't require state tax, should we be getting that back? We have also paid this tax for the last several years being stationed here because we didn't know any better.

Yes, you will have to file a nonresident tax return with zero state income and then the withholding will be refunded.  Which state was it?  I can check it- some states will refund without the full tax form.
