Got it. The state by state piece (duh, whats wrong with me) is what I was missing.

 

Per NYS website: "If your permanent home was not New York State when you entered the military but you were assigned to duty in New York State, you do not become a New York State resident even if you have a permanent place of abode here. You are a nonresident and your military pay is not subject to New York State income tax."

Follow-up question, if you do not mind: the client's HOR is Florida. He moved to NYS for a W-2 job, not for military purposes. He still performs duties for the Navy, though when he performs those duties he travels to a different state.

 

Does that make this any less clear in your view?
