An Overview of Multi-State Tax Issues and How They Impact Residency
Three key highlights:
-
The first thing states like California look at for residency purposes is where your domicile is. Analysis of residency factors comes second.
-
There are substantial tax savings from shifting residency out of high tax states.
-
California and other states are aggressively auditing individuals and businesses. Protecting yourself is critical.
Multi-state tax issues do not just impact businesses. In fact, they impact people probably a lot more than they impact businesses. The reason for that is people move around a lot more than businesses do. This is especially true if you live in one state during part of the year, then live in a different state the rest of the time.
