Utah. Utah allows a nonrefundable credit that can significantly reduce or eliminate state tax on military pay. Consult a military tax advisor for specifics.
SCRA. Under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act your military pay is taxed by the state you are domiciled in, not by the one your duty station sits in. Being assigned to an installation in Utah does not by itself change which state may tax you, and it does not create a filing obligation where you are stationed.
TRICARE West. Care at all 3 installations in Utah falls under the TRICARE West region, administered by TriWest Healthcare Alliance — enrollment and claims run through 888-TRIWEST (874-9378).
