Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There may be more going on here than is really clear yet.  (or am I  just looking at complications that don't exist)

Nicole: I'm not clear what your actual HOR is.  

My point is this, normally, for a military person, you get to use your HOR state as your Residence state no matter what state you are posted in.  This is a special situation established by Federal Law.  It allows military service people to only pay income taxes in their home state and not have to keep filing part-year tax returns as the get re-posted to new bases.  (and TX doesn't have an income tax...wohoo for those with TX HOR)

So if you signed-up/entered the military as a TX resident (HOR will be TX)....then your LES should reflect TX always, and no other state should get taxes from your PCS to and living in a different state.   But yeah, I have heard it is possible to get payroll to withhold for other states in certain personal situations.   .......But maybe you entered service as  a DE resident, so is DE your actual HOR?  or TX

But as a secondary "quirk" to this, if you are posted to a new state, you are allowed, in some instances, to become a "Legal resident" of that state....but to do that you have to submit special paperwork to your military branch (payroll and HR) detailing your wish to be a legal resident of that state.  This requires the submission of a DD-2058 detailing what you've done to establish legal residence in that new state.    After doing that, you are then subject to the tax laws in that state.   (With a DD-2058, Almost no one would voluntarily switch from TX to DE.  Thousands switch from their original HOR to TX when they get posted to TX). 

But if you really started with DE as your HOR.....seems unusual that TX would be on your LES..but I guess accidents "happen")

So the bigger questions are:

1) Confirm that TX was your original HOR....or was it DE ???

2) ...........IF HOR was TX, then, exactly how did you get tax withholding started for DE.  Did you just have payroll start withholding DE taxes?  or did you file the full DD-2058 to legally become a DE resident.

3) where were you posted during 2019?

How you handle your situation tax-wise really depends on your answers to those questions.
