I disagree! It is not based solely on your home of record. It is based on your home residence. For example, I enlisted in WA and now I own property in FL. I also changed my residence to FL. If there were income taxes in FL, I would have a bill due.
If you are paying taxes based on your income, it is based on your state of residence. Now the home of record can be used as your residence, if you CHOOSE to do so. But you must keep a driver's license there and vote there too.
As far as your residency goes, it is a state law (in all states) to change your residence when you arrive in the state with an intent to live there. However if you are active duty military, you do not have to.
Now, you are talking about local taxes... if you are talking about property taxes, the event that triggers property taxes is not necessarily residence, but ownership of property. That will cause you to have the tax liability. If you are a property owner, then you will have to pay the taxes assessed on your property, regardless of military status.
Good Luck and if you have any questions, please email me.

It all depends on your home of redcord. Each state has its own laws for Active Duty military members.
Regardless of where they are stationed
You could be stationed anywhere in the US - but if your home state says you still need to pay state tax - then you have to pay state taxes.

You file taxes with Ohio. No choice. If you are married and your spouse has a civilian job, she would file a NC return. If she is also military, she would file in her home of record. What branch are you in? I know a lot of military people overlook job-specific deductions on their Federal return, especially boomers.

He has to pay the same taxes he would have to pay if he actually resided at his 'home of record'. I believe he can change the 'home of record' if he does not intend to return to the current 'home of record'.

You must pay taxes in the state that you are the legal resident if your state has such taxes

Depends in which state you enlisted. This is considered your state of residence, so you pay state taxes. If you are from a state such as Texas, or a territory such as Puerto Rico that don't have state taxes, then you don't pay.

Yes, you can choose to pay either NC or Ohio...
