Do all types of income qualify for exemption from Virginia income tax if I qualify for relief under the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act?
No. A spouse who qualifies for relief is exempt from Virginia income tax on income for services performed by the spouse, such as wages received as an employee. Other income from Virginia sources, such as rental income from property located in Virginia, generally wil be taxable. A spouse’s income from self-employment may or may not qualify for the exemption, depending on the type of business in which the spouse is engaged.
