Important Information for Military Families   President Obama signed Federal legislation into law on November 11, 2009, that affects Virginia income tax filing requirements for certain spouses of military personnel. Effective for taxable year 2009, spouses of military service members do not automatically become Virginia residents for purposes of income and personal property taxation in cases where the individual is present in Virginia solely to be with a spouse who is a member of the military serving in Virginia in compliance with military orders. This means that affected individuals may be eligible for refunds of income tax withheld by their employers in 2009. For details, see Tax Bulletin 09-10, and the revised Form VA-4.
