Since your Home of Record or State of Legal Residence is New York, you are required to file resident New York state income tax return reporting all of your military and any other income.

If you do not have Virginia sourced income, other then your military income, you do not file a Virginia state income tax return.

Since you are active military your are still a resident of New York. Your state of residence does not change when you join the military regardless of where you are stationed.

On your military W-2 and your monthly pay stubs you should have had New York state taxes withheld.

@jjqueenz --

You may want to read this NY tax reference:

If you as an NY resident are stationed in Virginia on military PCS orders, then your military pay is not subject to Virginia income tax.
