My husband is in the Army, he claims California as his state of residence but we are not stationed there nor do we make any money IN California. So, his military pay should be state tax exempt. We have had no problems with this, but occasionally the Army messes up and charges state tax. For example in 2006 he paid $20.15 in state taxes and is due a refund of 100% of that.
My problem is that he just reenlisted and his bonus was charged state tax again. It came out to about $905. I know that if we wait till next year and file our state taxes again we'll get 100% refund of that, but I don't want to wait a year for $905 that should not have gone to them in the first place. Is there anyway that I could get California to refund that money now or that I can get teh Army payroll depratment to correct that now? It seems a waste to let the state have $905 of our money for a year.

I'm pretty sure you will just have to file for it at years end.
