I live in MD and drill for the National Guard in Delaware. Do I have to pay state income tax for both states in this income?

Not unless your military W-2 shows state income taxes withheld for Delaware, which it should not. You should only be filing a Maryland resident state tax return.

If you live in Maryland and work in Delaware, you must file tax returns with both states. To avoid dual taxation, you can get a credit for taxes paid to Delaware by completing Maryland Form 502CR and filing it with your Maryland income tax return. Be sure to include a copy of your Delaware return.

For more information about the tax situation for commuters, see Maryland Residents Who Work in Another State.

I'm thinking this is more in line with being active military where you do not report working in another state or earning income in another state since this a National Guard drill.
