Yes, you will file earned income from your non-military job in VA as VA-sourced income on a VA nonresident tax income tax return.
Just make sure that you are letting the TurboTax
system know that you are on active military duty and that you are inputting
your state of legal residency (SLR) as your resident state. Your SLR is usually
your home of record –
the state recorded by the military as your home when you joined the military
(regardless of where you are stationed).
For
example if your SLR is CT but you are stationed in HI, then you will use CT as
our resident state in TurboTax.
If necessary , you may need to edit your personal information under the
Personal Info tab (for TurboTax Online
sign-in, click Here) to let the TurboTax system know that you are in the
U.S. Armed Forces.
You
will need to make sure that you select yes
-"I am a member or former member of the U.S. Armed Forces (active, reserve
or National Guard)".
Also
answer "no" to "I lived in
another state" (screenshot). Even though you may have lived in a
different state, this will not apply if you are on active military service in a
state other than your home of record state.
Additionally,
if you earned any income outside your military pay in a state that is not your
state of record, you will need to file a nonresident state income tax return to
recognize this nonmilitary income. In this instance, you will select that you did make money in another state and that the other state is VA. You will also have to report this VA-source income on your CA resident state income tax return.
You will be able to
claim a state income tax credit for any VA-source income that is being taxed on
both an VA nonresident state income tax return and a CA resident state income
tax return.
The credit for taxes
paid to another state section will be at the end of your residence state's
interview process.
Just follow the
TurboTax guide when working on your states (remembering to do your nonresident
state return first) and TurboTax will do all the calculations and credits to
your resident states return
