I am active duty military, Texas resident (no state income tax), living in Idaho. when i upload my W-2, all of a sudden i owe over $2,500 in Idaho state taxes. Why?

You should not be filing an Idaho income tax form if your home of record is Texas and your only income is military income. If this is the case, delete Idaho.

If you do have other income from Idaho, go back to My Info. Your resident state should be Texas and you will tell TurboTax that you earned additional income in Idaho that is not military.

In Idaho, verify that you are filing a nonresident return. You will see a place where you can check that you are active duty military.

Thanks for your service!
