As a simple rule I believe you are required to pay state taxes when overseas. If you want to vote, have a drivers license and have an address for US federal tax returns then you will probably get caught up in state taxes. One solution is to make a state with no income taxes your domicile.

Now if you own property in a state it will be harder to be considered out of state. The only time I was overseas with in a Navy job and special rules apply but do your research so you do not have a large tax bill following you.
