Tax Question

So I file state taxes in my home of record, though I am (active duty) stationed in another state. Now I have a side civilian job where I am stationed, does anyone know if I have to pay taxes from the side job income to the state where I am stationed, or to the home of record state? Does having a side job preclude me from the privilege of paying taxes from military earnings to my home of record state? Thanks for any replies, hoping to avoid hiring a CPA.

Moonlighting income is taxed in the state where the work is done.

Military income is separate and is taxed in your home state (or not taxed if that state has no income tax, or waives it for out-of-state military servicemembers).

Usually this means moonlighters file two (or more) state returns.

You will file 2 state returns. I live on the border of the state I work in. I also do PRN work in the state I live in. So I file 2 state returns each year plus a federal return......annoying.
