I was active duty military through August 2024 with a state of residence of Florida. When I left active duty I remained in Virginia and began work in VA. How do I file?

Since you were active duty military through August 2024 with Florida as your state of residence, and then moved to Virginia and began working there, you'll need to file taxes for both states. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Federal Taxes: File your federal tax return as usual.
  2. State Taxes:
    • Florida: No state income tax, so no need to file there.
    • Virginia: File a part-year resident tax return for the income earned after moving in August 2024.
