I am active duty military in SC, and my home of record if FL and my husbands is NY, but it is still saying I owe SC taxes, I'm not sure how to fix that.

Just make sure that you are letting the TurboTax
system know that you are on active military duty.
You may need to edit
your personal information under the Personal Info tab (for TurboTax Online
sign-in, click Here) to let the
TurboTax system know that you are in the U.S. Armed Forces.
You will need to
edit your personal info and you will need to make sure that you select yes
-"I am a member or former member of the U.S. Armed Forces (active, reserve
or National Guard)".
Also answer
"no" to "I lived in another state". Even though you may
have lived in a different state, this will not apply if you are on active
military service in a state other than your home of record state. (see
screenshots)
Additionally, if you
earned any income outside your military pay in a state that is not your state
of record, you will need to file a nonresident state income tax return to
recognize this nonmilitary income. Otherwise you will only have a resident
state income tax return for your home of record, the state where you lived when
you joined the military.
To get rid of your
SC state return, just go under the state taxes tab and delete SC from the state
list.
Additionally, if your spouse is not covered under MSRRA and your state of residence is FL (while your
spouse's state of residence is NY), then to avoid having your income being
taxed in NY, you would still be able to file your federal
income taxes jointly but you would file your
state income taxes as married filing separately.
