Q:

 

How do I determine state residency? Is my military pay taxable?

A:

 

Each state has different rules relating to residency. As a rule, if you are assigned to another state, you will still legally be a “domiciliary” of your home state.

If your home state taxes military pay, you will have to pay those taxes. If you get assigned to another state, you will still legally be a "domiciliary" of your home state. The state to which the military assigns you cannot tax your military pay. If you moonlight, they can tax that pay - just your military pay is exempt. Please contact a Military OneSource tax consultant or your installation VITA office for more clarification.
