What state do I file in if my husband is active duty military? His home of record is Florida, we both live and work in Hawaii, and my drivers license is from NC.

I have not lived in NC since 2022.

You only need file a federal tax return.  You do not have to file in any state.  Here's why:

 

1)  Your income as a military spouse is not taxable by Hawaii.   https://files.hawaii.gov/tax/news/announce/ann19-01.pdf

 

2.  Federal law allows you to file as a resident of your servicemember spouse's State of Legal Residence, which is Florida - a no-income-tax state.
