State tax filing
"I’m a flight attendant and claim residence …"
As @Lisa995 indicated, there's no such thing as "claiming" residence in one state or another. Each state has specific rules as to who is considered a resident for state income tax purposes. States may also tax non-residents on income earned within their borders, and some have specific rules regarding non-resident flight attendants.
A key issue for state taxation is the concept of domicile. Your domicile is your main or "permanent" home. A person can have only one domicile at a time. Your domiciliary state (if it has an income tax) can tax all your income, regardless of where you earn it.
**Answers are correct to the best of my ability but do not constitute tax or legal advice.
