This episode discusses the ins and outs of changing or re-establishing your state tax domicile. Most of the time those changes are driven by job changes or retirement. And with today's remote work environment, this is issue comes up quite a bit.
There are eight states with no income tax - Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.
Domicile is established by the “intent” of the taxpayer and you must abandon old domicile and have intent to establish residence in new state, most commonly shown by:
• New Driver’s License
• Registering to vote
• Transfer bank accounts
• Register vehicles
• Create or establish church or civic relations
• In case of 2 homes, change where homestead exemption is claimed
It is important to discuss the income tax consequences of changing domicile with your JMF professional. You should make sure you discuss all of the facts and circumstances surrounding your move and make sure you are aware of the steps necessary to determine domicile and the documentation required upon audit to prove the change in domicile.
