Tax help for military filers

not combat deployment

 Active Army. I entered my first W-2 (of 2) and it produced a tax due amount. Filing Single with 0 exemptions on my W-4 this hasn't happened before - so what changed? Adding second W-2 continued the trend of owing more. Shouldn't 0 exemptions, filing single, result in the Army taking out sufficient withholding to cover the pay they are providing (ignoring other income sources which didn't have withholding/haven't been entered yet)?

Also, Maryland taxes were deducted

I got a cheque from IRS in July 2021 with year 2020 tax refund. However I couldn't cash it. Can i claim that 2020 tax refund amount as a tax deduction in 2021 tax return? If so, how do I do it in turbo-tax ? Which tax deduction ?

my husband is retired and  receives military pat that taxes are taken out of his pay

It's under the additional payer and recipient information.I know for state tax purposes our income tax is based on home of record not current duty station. I wanted to see if that applied to investments as well

I'm active duty, California resident, and my wife is civilian, Texas resident. We both live and work in Texas. She doesn't require a state tax return for Texas because of no income tax. Am I able to just file joint for my California return, or does her working in her state of residence prevent me from doing that? My confusion is that when I go to file separately I now have to add in all the community property adjustments, which halves my California return because now part of my withheld taxes are registering as hers. Which would then mean I would have to file a California tax return for her. Or do I not put state taxes in that portion of the adjustment?

I am from Pennsylvania and I am Active Duty, so I do not pay the state taxes as I am exempt. I do however work a part time job, also in PA. Does the exemption only apply to my military pay, or does it extend to my part-time job as well?

Both my husband (service member) and I claim FL as our state of residency. In 2021 we lived in two different states (Virginia and California). Both states I had earned income while working for the same company that honors MSRRA. Am I as the working dependent required to file state income taxes for both VA and CA ? Thank you so much in advance!

He gets military pay, and I was told that I need to have him on my taxes this year, but he would file his own return.

How does she file for only the state in which she worked in?

I’m in the millitary and I have Tricare. They only issue a 1095-c. My federal taxes were rejected because it said I needed to enter my 1095a data. How do I get past this issue. I do not have a 1095 a

I'm confused about this question. My state of legal residence is MO but I have lived in KS (where I am stationed) all of last year. Is that considered a permanent place to live?
