State Income Taxation of Military Personnel and United
States Citizens Residing Outside of the United States
Summary
This report examines and summarizes the laws of the fifty states and the District
of Columbia respecting taxation of income of citizens domiciled within the state but
residing abroad. It has been prepared biennially for many years.
This report is divided into an introduction and four sections. The introduction
includes a brief summary of pertinent provisions of Federal law, including 1) the
Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act (containing special provisions governing the
treatment of members of the military for domicile and state income tax purposes) and
2) Internal Revenue Code provisions governing exclusion of income earned in
foreign countries, which may have an impact upon state treatment of the income of
domiciliaries residing abroad.
Section I discusses the six states (and the District of Columbia) which have no
special credit for foreign taxes paid or some exemption for income earned abroad.
The definitions of domicile and residency, the tax base and the probable income tax
obligation of domiciliaries abroad are addressed. Two of these states do not tax
earned income (Tennessee and New Hampshire). Tennessee taxes only income from
stocks and bonds, and New Hampshire taxes dividends and interest and
unincorporated businesses.
Section II focuses on those eleven states which provide a state income tax credit
for foreign income tax paid. Statutory language is summarized for each of these
states. In a number of cases the statutes provide for a credit for taxes outside the state
( to other states and to foreign countries).
Section III summarizes the provisions of law in those twenty-six states that
exclude some foreign source earned income from state taxation, following federal
law on the subject.
Section IV lists the seven states which have no income tax.

State Income Taxation of Military Personnel
and United States Citizens Residing Outside
of the United States
Introduction
This report examines and summarizes the laws of the fifty states and the District
of Columbia respecting the taxation of income of United States citizens domiciled
within the state but residing abroad. The report is divided into four substantive
sections. Section I discusses the law of states with no foreign tax credit or exemption
provision. Section II analyzes the laws of states which grant an income tax credit for
foreign income tax paid to a foreign country. In many cases, these states merely
permit credit of any taxes paid outside of the state, whether to other states or to
foreign governments. Section III describes the laws of the states which exempt
income earned abroad to the same extent as such income is exempted by federal law.
Section IV lists the seven states which have no income tax. Since no income tax is
imposed, there can really be no substantive discussion of the treatment of United
States citizens domiciled in the state but residing abroad. States which tax only
certain types of income, such as dividends and interest (see discussions of New
Hampshire and Tennessee), are discussed under the general tax provisions in Section
I.
The first three sections are divided into a discussion of the definitions of
domicile and residency for state income tax purposes, the tax base used by the state,
and the probable income tax obligation in each of these states for domiciliaries
residing abroad. In addition, special note is made where state domicile or residency
is determined in whole or in part by voting within the state and where special rules
apply to military personnel.
In regard to the special rules applicable to military personnel, a number of states
merely refer to the tax provisions of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of
1940, presently found at 50 U.S.C. App. 574. Generally, this section provides that
for state income tax purposes, an individual does not lose domicile in a specific state
solely "by reason of being absent therefrom in compliance with military or naval
orders . . . . " The same law also provides that, for state income tax purposes, an
individual does not acquire residence or domicile solely because of location under
military orders. The Act further states that, where an individual is not deemed to
reside or be domiciled in a state, military income will be treated by that state as non-
resident income not earned within the state.
Section 911 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) permits United States citizens
who reside abroad to exclude from their gross income up to $80,000 of foreign
earned income in tax year 2003 and a certain recognized amount for housing. This

---

CRS-2
exclusion applies to taxpayers living abroad who were present in a foreign country
or countries for 330 days out of any 12 consecutive months. The housing cost amount
is the excess of the taxpayer's expenses over a base housing amount. The base
housing amount is equal to 16 percent of the salary of a GS-14 government
employee. As of January 1, 2003, this salary is $72,381 so that the current base
housing amount would be $11,580.96. Housing costs provided by an employer may
also be excluded from the gross income of the employee. In line with this, IRC § 119
provides that lodging furnished in an overseas camp may be excluded from the
employee's income. It should be noted that neither exclusion is applicable to wages
paid by the United States government even if the Federal employee is residing
abroad.
Most states, and the District of Columbia, have signed agreements with the
Treasury Department which provide for the withholding of state income taxes from
the pay of service members. The text of the standard agreement may be found at 31
CFR § 215.6 - 13 (2001). The following states do not have standard agreements with
the Treasury Department to withhold state income taxes from the pay of members of
the armed services: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and
Wyoming.
The information contained in this report is accurate through the end of the 2002
legislative session of each state.
