Yes, as an active duty military spouse, you can maintain your California residency for tax purposes while living and running a business in Ohio. 

 

Your business in Ohio may be subject to Ohio taxes since the revenue is earned there. You will likely need to file a California resident return to report worldwide income and a nonresident Ohio return.

 

If you meant something else reach back out.
