You have to be 100% VA disability and can only shop on military installations to recieve the tax exempt. If your husband falls into this category then he should contact the Vetrans Administration.

If this is the gain and it is from the sale of your primary residence then there is no capital gains tax.  You can exclude up to $250,000 for a single person, and $500,000 for a married couple every two years.\n\nThe following is from the IRS website:\nMaximum Exclusion\nYou can exclude up to $250,000 of the gain on the sale of your main home if all of the following are true. \n\nYou meet the ownership test.\n\nYou meet the use test.\n\nDuring the 2-year period ending on the date of the sale, you did not exclude gain from the sale of another home.\n\nIf you and another person owned the home jointly but file separate returns, each of you can exclude up to $250,000 of gain from the sale of your interest in the home if each of you meets the three conditions just listed. \n\nYou can exclude up to $500,000 of the gain on the sale of your main home if all of the following are true. \n\nYou are married and file a joint return for the year.\n\nEither you or your spouse meets the ownership test.\n\nBoth you and your spouse meet the use test.\n\nDuring the 2-year period ending on the date of the sale, neither you nor your spouse excluded gain from the sale of another home. \n\nIf either spouse does not satisfy all these requirements, the maximum exclusion that can be claimed by the couple is the total of the maximum exclusions that each spouse would qualify for if not married and the amounts were figured separately. For this purpose, each spouse is treated as owning the property during the period that either spouse owned the property. \n\nOwnership and Use Tests

I  can't believe some of the info being passed here!  The first responder was correct that it is called "command sponsorship."  The term means a dependent is recognized by the overseas command, with full overseas benefits and post/base allowances.  To gain command-sponsorship, the active duty spouse must agree to serve an additional year "after" you become his dependent.  This law was enacted as sort of a pay back for recognizing and "sponsoring" you.  This also allows you full benefits and entitlements, such as government-paid travel for you, to your husband's next duty station (without command-sponsorship, you'll have to pay for your own travel when leaving Germany).  Once you are comand-sponsored other entitlements such as ration cards, housing allowance, and cost of living allowances are paid at the "with dependent rate;" usually much more than the single rate (if there is one).  Also, things such as eligibility to live on-base are established.  I know the AF processes command-sponsorships routinely, and the process takes very little time to approve (the army shouldn't be too different).  Remember, all privileges and allowances begin once the application is approved.  I would recommend anyone marrying overseas apply for command-sponsorship (provided there is an "accompanied-by-dependents" tour length at that location).  You don't say which specific branch of service, but the sponsor is the only person that can make application for command-sponsorship.  He will need to approach his unit orderly room/admin folks to initiate the process.  Remeber one thing though, regardless of whether you obtain command-sponsorship, you are entitled to medical care through the military.\nIt's not uncommon for med folks, or others, to try and turn you away, but US law allows you medical care based solely on being married to a member of the active duty forces. Even without a ration card, NATO stamp in passport or orther credentials to obtain access to the base, you can ask for an escort if necessary to allow you access to the hospital or clinic ---provided you are in possession of your dependent military identification card.  \n\nIn the end though, comand-sponsorship is in you and your husband's best interests.  Technically, you can't enter any BX or commissary, or other MWR facility.  You can't use the post office and if you purchase anything on base, you are technically responsible to pay the german taxes!  Believe me, the process of applying is very routine, and if you're at a major military  installation, it is a routine process with approval almost all but guaranteed.  While I was overseas, I would estimate several hundred folks (command-wide) applied for sponsorship each year.\n\np.s.  all entitlements apply equally, regardless of branch of service.  Some variations ultimately occur or bad information is used when people in charge of facilities, etc. lack correct knowledge or understanding of entitlements. If someone casually tells your sponsor it's not possible to apply, he's in the wrong place.  He should start at his unit, and then wind up in personnel to submit the proper paperwork.\n\nGood luck

While in basic training, there are only three general types of discharges he can even be considered for: Punitive (misbehavior), medical, and what are known as Chapter 11 or Entry Level Performance and Conduct (called chapter 11 because it is the guiding regulation AR 635-200, Chapter 11). A punitive discharge he DOES NOT WANT. They usually come officially characterized as Other Than Honorable or Bad Conduct discharges (these are very bad) and those will haunt him on every job application or back ground check he has to process. Medical is possible and are normally officially declared as General or Honorable (these are very good). The drawback there is first he would have to get hurt real bad (don't want that), and 2nd it seems to take forever to actually get a soldier through this process - he won't be home for a long long time while he waits and the medical community evaluates and tests him. The Chapter 11 can only be applied for under 4 specific grounds: inability, lack of reasonable effort, failure to adapt to the military environment, and minor disciplinary infractions. A Chapter 11 is almost always characterized as a General discharge (not good, but not bad either), so it has no severe long term damage. The biggest blow will be a nearly complete loss of all veterans benefits. HOWEVER, it is critical to know that whichever discharge he applies for, the situation involving him is BONA FIDE (real and not made-up). The Army will investigate and his chain of command will be required to write formal memorandums attesting to the facts. Your husband will more than likely also be required to complete a formal Sworn Statement attesting to whatever issue is prohibiting him from service. If he has no ACTUAL issues, and it is proven, he can be prosecuted. On the other hand, if he truly is unable to adapt or incapable of performing the tasks directed, then a discharge based on AR 635-200, Chapter 11 (I copied a link to this regulation below) is what he needs to file. I am going to be brutally honest here, based on the information you provided, were I his Commanding Officer, I do not believe that he has a legitimate discharge application. So for your sake, I am hoping there is information you have not spoken about that does apply to the regulation. I wish you and yours the best - take this decision VERY seriously - its implication has more than just legal issues: how will your friends react? Your Family? The community? Your Church? Think all that through before acting - just a suggestion.

Contact a local VFW. They have the forms and information you will need and can point you in the right direction. You will probably need his service number which is his Social Security Number. VFW members are often happy to help with this type of request even if you are not a member. I hope this helps.

He should file now and you two start out fresh.  Keep separate accounts for now and both try to build up credit.  My husband had debt from previous marriage and it will effect you also.  Anything that shows up on his credit will affect you when you try to buy a house or both signatures are needed to make a big purchase such as a car.  Doesn't matter when it occurred.  I had to pay off my husbands utility bill from a previous marriage before the electricity could be turned on in our new place.

Call the Veteran Administration and find out what is available.  Your mom wouldn't be able to go into a VA home, unless she is a veteran too.

Best place to start would be the Veterans' Administration.  Another option would be to check with the local veterans' group to find out the short cuts to getting those services.

I married my wife (German) while we were in the US.  This was in 1987, so some things have changed. *L*\n\nHe will have to get a VISA to enter.  Contact your Personnel Center, or the Consulate, to obtain the proper paperwork.\n\nOnce you're married, contact INS and see if he can apply for his Temporary Alien Resident card while you are still stationed overseas.  If so, do that IMMEDIATELY!!!  If you have the Resident Alien Card, you may not require a Visa.\n\nGood luck and congratulations.

it depends on where you live and the laws about martial assets there. Also what monies you would be using to buy the house.\nIf the money comes from outside the marital assets like an inheritance than yes you can do it. You would want to have a legal document signed by your soon to be ex spouse waiving all claim to the property.

To apply for ILR your husband needs to prove: he had been living with you for two years (Bank Statements, bills in both your names, letters addressed to both of you), having a job helps as well to show that you both haven't been using the system to support yourselves. \n\nGo To: http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk

Have you tried contacting the local military base? They may have some "adopt" as solider programs or you may deliver a gift to be donated as part of a larger program. They would love that. A great gift would be an MP3 player.

Call the VA hospital and ask them for the  web address for the pharmacy, they should be able to give it to you. Once there it should walk you right through setting up your acct. Can't you order over the telephone until you get your online acct set up? Just wondering.

Not sure, but it sounds as though you may asking about a resale certificate, so that you're exempt from paying sales tax on products for resale. If so, contact the state agency that deals with sales tax issues.
