Question

I'm in the military and own a home in North Carolina where I'm stationed but have Connecticut as my home of record. How do I apply my taxes to North Carolina?

You do not have to file a NC return unless you have some (unusual) spouse conditions or you earned additional income in NC from non-military employment, a NC business or tangible real property located in NC . Active duty military members are treated as having been full year residents of the state in which they are legally domiciled (in your case, Connecticut). Your real estate taxes paid will flow down to your CT return from your federal return.

Also, it's only your active duty military pay that is tax-exempt in NC.  If you had any other type of income from NC, such as income from a civilian side job, that would be taxable by NC.
