State tax and TRICARE in Germany

Your home-of-record state. While stationed overseas, U.S. state tax depends entirely on your state of legal domicile, not your duty station. Many OCONUS members maintain domicile in a no-tax state like TX, FL, or WA.

TRICARE Overseas. Care at all 10 installations in Germany falls under the TRICARE Overseas region, administered by International SOS Government Services, LLC. Referrals and claims run through that contractor.
