My last state was VA before Germany but I move to Rhode Island in July and this will be my permanent residence. I only have the property in VA as rental, but the TurboTax software says I am only taxed on income earned in VA. This is the rental income obviously, but I am not sure if my salary is taxed in VA when it wasn’t earned there. Technically, the W-2 is for OH, which handles all payroll for DOD civilians.
