Tax help for military filers

The legal residence of a service member does not change due to duty station. However, it will change if your domicile becomes your permanent home. By purchasing a house, the computer thinks that maybe you have become a VA resident. Of course, if the house becomes a rental later, you will file a VA return for that income. Buying a house does not mean permanent but changing your license, voting, etc would indicate that you have a permanent place of VA in mind.
