Nebraska.
Reason: Because Emma did not take affirmative steps to establish domicile in Nebraska, she cannot treat the duty-station state as her state of residence. Under the Military Spouse Residency Relief Act she can generally keep her own domicile (Massachusetts) or elect to use her spouse’s state of legal residence (Connecticut); her wage work could also subject her to Iowa taxation. But she cannot simply adopt Nebraska as her residence without affirmatively changing domicile.
