Tax help for military filers
It depends. PA military pay states:
Military pay (including compensation for weekend drills) earned within and outside Pennsylvania by PA residents is subject to PA personal income tax as compensation.
Income received by a PA resident for all military service performed inside Pennsylvania – even if on federal active duty or federal active duty for training – is fully taxable, unless for active military duty within PA for an emergency pursuant to 35 PA C.S. Ch. 76.
Military pay received while on federal active duty or federal active duty for training outside Pennsylvania is not taxable.
