Quoted: Do you have to pay state income taxes at the bases you are stationed at? The reason I'm asking is, I have been working at several different states and have to pay their state taxes. I live in Texas nad we don't have a stte income tax, but I have to pay the states I'm working in. |

What the Gunny said. Unless you are a resident of the state you are stationed in you don't pay it.

If your home of record or legal residence is the state your stationed in you have to pay state taxes in most states as far as I'm aware of.
But say your a Michigan resident when you join but are never stationed in michigan, your still a Michigan resident as far as drivers license is concerned but you'll never pay Michigan taxes. There might be 1-2 states that sill make you pay taxes, I think someone from one of the southern states always bitched about paying taxes, or he was mistaken and paid when he didn't need to. Bottom line is never change your home of record or residency, just leave it as the state you lived in when you joined and your good to go. |

The main reason for the tax exemption is techincally your earning your income on the base itself which is federal property, not state property.

When I worked in VA as a civilian for a short time in the 90s, state income tax was withheld but refunded the next year. (It's not automatic, you'll need to file a return)

It's also handy to keep on PCSing to states without income tax.
 Entered with WA as home of record, did 3 overseas tours, moved to FL and changed residency, moved to NV and changed residency. |

My HOR was NY and while they withheld the state tax it was refunded in the full amount each year. Basically gave NY an interest free loan every year.

Do DOD civilians maintain a HOR out of state though? Or do they get dual residence like Active Duty? I always assumed they paid taxes because they actually lived there. E and O pay is adjusted to factor in that active duty dosen't pay state taxes, I'm assuming the GS pay scale is higher because they do pay state taxes. Or at least this is the way I understand it. I've never been a DOD civilian. |
