If you are active duty military, then your HOR state should be listed as your resident state in TurboTax. Therefore, you do not have to file a return for Virginia unless you earned income there from a civilian job or from any other business activity in the state.

Per the state of Virginia:

Nonresident Military Personnel

Members of the armed forces who are not Virginia residents are not subject to Virginia income tax on their military pay, or on interest received from accounts held in Virginia banks. However, if you have other income from Virginia sources, such as a part-time job, or a business or trade conducted in Virginia, you are subject to tax on this income. You should report the income on a nonresident return, Form 763. Your residency status as a member of the military does not extend to your spouse or dependents. Non-military spouses and dependents living in Virginia are subject to the same residency and filing requirements as all other individuals.  https://tax.virginia.gov/military-tax-tips
