So once you get married you’ll be able to claim (if you want to) your spouses home state of residence. My husband is active duty USCG and he claims FL (no state taxes) as his “home state” of residence. I claim it as well under the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act. We live in DC where I also work and DC taxes come out of my check. Because I’m a FL “resident” when we file (married jointly) I get those DC taxes back. It’s actually pretty easy. He’s been active duty for 19 years and we’ve always filed ourselves with no issues on TurboTax. I’ve worked in every place we’ve been stationed - North Carolina, Guam, DC, Virginia, etc….and I’ve had no issues filing as a FL “resident” military spouse and getting those state taxes back.
