State tax filing

An active-duty member whose SLR is NY will have their active-duty income taxed unless they are a nonresident for tax purposes:

1.      Do not maintain a domicile in NY

2.      Were not physically present in NY for more than 30 days.

3.      Do maintain a domicile in another state.  However, if they live in barracks, they do not maintain a domicile, and their active-duty is taxed.

How does an active duty military member whose SLR is NY exempt their Active Duty Income?  Must file a New York nonresident return (TurboTax has screens to exempt the income).
