Active duty military stationed in NJ in 2017 but my residency is in IN its charging me for NJ state taxes but I paid state taxes already for Indiana, any help?

Charging me for NJ state taxes when I've been paying Indiana state taxes all year and should be getting money back from state taxes how do I fix this?

If your only NJ income was your military pay, you do not have to file an NJ return.  If that's the case, in the Personal Info section of TurboTax, enter IN as your State of Residence and answer No to the questions about having income from other states.

I did all of that but now says I owe Indiana state taxes when I've been paying Indiana state taxes all year

[TomD8]

This can happen when the amount of IN tax that was withheld from your pay is less than the amount of IN tax that you actually owe.  This would leave you with an IN balance due.

That makes sense I appreciate the fast responses as well thank you for your help
