I am active duty. I drive for uber, lyft and run an airbnb. What state do I file taxes for? My SLR or the state I'm currently living in?

Active duty military file their tax returns in their state of legal residence (SLR). From a tax standpoint, your State of Legal Residency (SLR) is considered your “domicile” or “resident” state as long as you are on active duty. Even if you are stationed in another state, you’re still considered a resident of your SLR.

To find out if you need to file a state tax return when you aren't stationed in your resident state, check out Military Information on State Websites. You will see links for each state with information for active duty military and their spouses.
