In which of the following scenarios does the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act apply? Assume all nonmilitary spouses have California-source income and none choose to change their state of residence. Cody is stationed in California but domiciled in Arizona, which is where he met and married Jennifer. Jennifer, who is in California solely to be with Cody, easily finds a job at a local day care. Sally joined the military in Texas and was immediately stationed in California. She met and married Dorian while on vacation in Hawaii. Dorian is domiciled in Hawaii and is in California only to be with Sally. Nick, a Mississippi resident, met and married LeAnn, a California resident, while he was stationed in California. LeAnn remains in the state solely to be with Nick. Emma and Quintin are both domiciled in California. Quintin was stationed in San Diego until June 30, 2019, when he received PCS orders for a base in Connecticut. Emma remained in California to finish graduate school.

John, a US citizen, and Ella, a Canadian citizen (her US tax status is non-resident alien), were recently married in Toronto, Canada, where they reside. John is a shareholder in USAUSA, Inc, an S corporation. As a wedding gift, John gave 100 shares of his S corporation stock to Ella. This gift of stock to Ella will have no impact on the tax status of the USAUSA, Inc.
