You need to tell us a number of things:

 

1. Which refund are you talking about, federal or state?

2. Which state is your home of record?

3. Which state (or country) are you stationed in?

4. Do you have any non-active duty income?

 

 

Remember that active duty pay is taxable at the federal level, and the amount of it that is taxable varies a lot state by state.

 

Also remember that we in the Community cannot see your private tax data, so please help us help you by telling us as much as you can.
