This year you file your taxes as always with DC because you didn't marry in 2022 the tax year that is currently being filed for. Assuming your Marrying in the upcoming year, the 2023 tax season will be more complicated. You can change your residency to match your spouse's once married, you will want to make sure your employer chages your state withholdings. The next year you would file in DC for the months up until you changed your residency and then the remainder of the year would be filed with the state you changed to. So in 2023 you would have 2 state returns. The year after that would be the first full tax year with your new state and you would only need to file with your new state no longer working about DC.

Thanks, for 2022 I’m set and agreed - I filed as I normally have. I just don’t want to run afoul switching over in 2023 post marriage and want to make sure I’m totally correct in how I do it.

Many bases have legal services your military members and dependents can access. You may want to look at setting up an appointment with your future spouse and their base legal services to get additional information.

Thanks. This is probably the best solution and I appreciate everyone who has suggested it. I don’t know why I didn’t go to that first. Thank you all again!

This may not work. The husband may have a state residency that the OP hasn’t over in.
