That can be state dependent. I’m taxed based on the state I live in, and claim residency in. Not the state in which my base resides.
The IRS and local state tax agencies are on to the “scam” of claiming residence in one state and living in another. There is a classic court case involving a NWA pilot, claiming FL residence and living in MN. It’s an interesting read on how the judge determined residency.
