I am active duty military currently stationed in VA, and my HOR is NY, however I recently changed my state taxes record to the state of FL, so part of the NY taxes were deducted from my pay, and then stopped after I changed to FL. In addition, I did some side hustles in the state of VA and received payment via Paypal, are those filed as VA?

Yes, you are on the right track.

In the "My Info" section indicate your resident state was FL on December 31st.
Next, indicate you lived in another state (NY) and enter the date you changed to FL.
Continue.
Scroll down to "Other State Income" and indicate you earned money in another state (VA).

These actions will generate Part-year resident returns for FL and NY and a non-resident return for VA.

FYI ... FL has no state income tax.

And if you did not physically live in NY you are considered a non resident and none of the military income is subject to NY taxes even if the SLR is NY ... you should have stopped NY withholding when you were relocated to VA ... so file a non resident NY return and indicate none of the military pay is subject to NY taxes to get all of them back ... read the rules ... https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/file/military_page.htm
