It depends. You must file your return in your State of legal Residence (SLR). You may elect Tennessee as your State of legal Residence if Tennessee is considered your permanent legal residence, as demonstrated by a wide variety of factors that include:
- Maintaining voter registration and voting
- Filing and paying state income taxes
- Maintaining a driver’s license
- Registering vehicles and other indicators of intent
Your legal residence as shown by these factors should be the same place as your legal residence indicated on your Leave and Earnings Statement.
If you registered to vote in NC, maintain a driver's license, register vehicles in the state, then your State of legal Residence is North Carolina.
