Just moving from one state to another some people they you know what don't realize that their former State wants to keep their hands in their<br> cookie jar from a tax perspective and if they ignore the rules on how to change your domicile properly hey you could come up with a lot of stress like taxes audit it could be a state as it could be a lots of things so that's why we have bread bread welcome to the show so much do you looking forward to it I heard about you being on here this is a big poppa cuz taxes are going up all over from the state perspective and quite frankly many states become unaffordable so that one of the best ways is to move out of the state now help me understand how you got involved with the changing the domicile business so to speak many many years ago I guess maybe 20 years ago in Indianapolis to my wealthiest clients kept retiring and moving to Florida and they kept saying to me what what can you do to help us and I would say well I'm not licensed in Florida so I really can't and I got the<br> refer them to someone else and I realized pretty quickly that referring away my wealthiest clients who are tuned in to this domicile issue probably wasn't the best long-term strategy so I took the Florida bar opened an office in Florida and ever since I've been helping people from higher tax states make that transition to floor and I've had some clients where they figure they can split a state or you know one spouse is domiciled in one state and another and another and for some reason you know what they're getting audited they're getting hit with penalties and all that kind of stuff so what am I going to do is just go hang what determines somebody state registry where their what states are domiciled determines that would start their sure well for the most part when were using this term domicile it's good to to specify that a lot of people called that residents must face technically call it.<br> but you can of course have a residence in more than one state but you should for tax purposes only have one domicile and so there's there's a lot of your listeners certainly to pay state income tax in multiple States but there is one state that is their primary residence and they may they may be paying state income tax for example in California because they owned rental property in California they may pay an Illinois because I have rental properties in Illinois but they happen to be domiciled in New York and so their worldwide income is subject to tax in New York minus some of those taxes that are paid another place is so so in general when we use the term domicile we're talking about really kind of tax residency now what determines your domicile is state-specific that's that's one of the things that we have talked about a little bit it's really not about the state you're moving to it's the state you're coming from because every state has their own laws that's that's just the way it works in in our United States is not a federal<br> lob instruments which state you're are domiciled in it's just a lot so they went all the way to the US Supreme Court about what state of the argument often times was I've got more than one stay saying that I'm down the south Interstate federal government or federal courts you resolve this and and the answer has really been for the most part states can have different laws it if you aren't smart enough to make sure that you are only down the sound one state there may be more than one state that tries to claim taxes on it so we have to look very specifically to the state that you were trying to change your domicile from not just the state that you're trying to change a domicile to another where is the New Jersey some of the biggest tax date you really need to make sure if you're going to be living in Florida or in Texas or some other like Tennessee tax-free State you really need to look<br> like for example you probably do it while you're from Indiana so Indiana has what kind of like I'm just going to ask about Indiana what kind of rules for domicile test of Indiana have to be so I can even be a little bit more specific than that I would say in general about half of the states in our country have a two-pronged assault and the other states have a 1 prong dumps out a number of days test New York is probably the most famous of of those states where they say if you haven't place of Abode if you have a place that you can live with a rented or own and you are in New York 183 or more days then you are statutory resin and there is no reason to move on to the second prong to text you are a resident of that state for their tax purposes and any of the other things I've ever heard of that you're supposed to do just simply won't matter about half<br> what states have a law like that the number of days now that this the number of days a little bit from state-to-state but most of them are in that 6 months and add a category they're Ohio is the one very unusual stay where where they don't have six months in a day that's 7 months in the day they actually are more liberal a surprisingly and I have said in order to hold on to as many people as they can who will continue to come back to Ohio and summer time or offseason they said you know we're going to be really live while you could be in Ohio up to 7 and if you intend to be domiciled somewhere else we won't count that against so that they've done the opposite direction of many states and their thought is that way the former residents can continue to come back to Ohio on second homes do their Banking and investing and go to the doctor there and get the Charity's there and I've decided the best what's best but in general half of the states have this number of days test<br> the second part of the cast in those States and the second part and the only part of the test in most other states is an intent test and it is based upon your subjective intent and unfortunately there's no there's no MRI machine that we can run a person through that that lights up green if you intend to be domiciled in Florida and lights up red if you took the domicile in the yard it doesn't work that way so every state has come up with different factors that they may look to to objectively determine what your subjective intent might be and that's what really berries varies significantly in some states they say whether you have a safe deposit box in their state is extremely relevant in another States that's just not even mentioned in some states and only a few States they say where you give to charitable organizations really shows where your heart is and if you still give in your former State that's very indicative of your intent and yet other states a absolutely positively we will not consider that<br> we don't want to harm the Charity's but what we want to do is we want to make sure that if a fact finder is a quart or a taxing Authority whichever take a look and audit or even little we wanted to be very clear to them that this case just isn't worth pursuing because you've done so many things too heavily weight that Apothecary scale in favor of your new stay up at 8 we're going to hold on right there I want to talk to you about many of those things that people can do when we come right back so we're going to take a break got to pay some bills once he's active more expert advice

CWS you get all the replays exclusive gift from our gas and more so with that we have bread back we're talking about<br> factors that people look at now what specifically are some of those factors that the Franchise Tax Board here in California or whatever it is here to there in Florida will they be looking at is factors for somebody's domicile I can provide a bit of a list of those things that are somewhat Universal country doing just those things that are General may not be everything you need to do for your sake, but some of those General things are the things that are really almost just obvious domicile to driver's license and ID register a car in that if there's a homestead exemption you would file for that homestead exemption in one thing that may not be quite as obvious but is true in many of our state's is it you're changing to a new state there may be a form available either through a County<br> or the State Franchise Board or the Department of Revenue by the taxing Authority for the state that allows you to complete an affidavit that says as of this day I intend to be domiciled in my newspaper in Florida every county has one of those is called a declaration of domicile is completed in front of a notary and you just swear that's your intent you can record that with the county putting everyone on notice that that's you know that's not going to do it that's that's not going to be the determining Factor but it is very nice to have a very clear piece of paper that says it is my antenna as of February 25th 2021 that I intend to be domiciled in my new stick Sonos are some of the the universal things but there's a few others that are certainly worthy of mention in some of these are a little bit less obvious I mentioned a safe-deposit box earlier that's not relevant in every state but I would say<br> and at least half of the states that appears either in case law or regulatory materials or state publication that the debt may be very indicative of a person has a cat if you have a safe deposit box still in your former state it sounds like that really is your intended long-term best the place where you intend to eventually return and and that could be a problem if you ever dump out of it for domicile a couple other things that are interesting the people don't always think about one of those might be professional licensing many of us and many of your listeners are are Professionals of one sort or another whether they're an attorney or a doctor or nurse or a realtor or appraiser you name it I think about it you register as a professional with your stuff that's a state that database if the state wants to determine whether they're going to audit you are not a very simple thing they can do is look and say all right with this person is still a license<br> mission in the state of California yet he says that he's now domiciled in Idaho that doesn't really make much sense to us we better inquire more so if you're changing your state of domicile it doesn't necessarily mean you have to give up your professional licenses if you're ready to even better but in most instances people want to at least change from a resident license position as an example to a non-resident license position if there is no different differentiation between resident and non-resident at a minimum change your address do not continue to use your end State address for those purposes use your new State address for this purpose in Most states will say that when trying to determine urine test again there is no MRI machine there's no easy way of determining that and it's just a little bit too obvious to just asking.<br> you have a driver's license and your new stay so what many states will do is they'll look to some of these less obvious thing that they believe that if you're really intending to change your domicile you would probably find a dentist in a primary care physician in your new state depending on the state they may ask about other professionals Insurance professionals Financial professionals accounting professionals at lawyer do you have these Professionals in your new stay at a minimum do you have them in that new state and maybe still in your old stay with them coordinating but there should probably be some connection with the new state that varies by state again interesting way I mentioned Ohio earlier Ohio when passing their laws made the decision to not count those things that what they wanted to do is have have their state residents who are changing their domicile still go back for medical care in Ohio still have the<br> Kyle Banks as their backs still have the Ohio investment professionals and CPAs in lawyers Allstate can be indicted about nuts and that things like this church in your Northern State it would only make sense that if you were changing your domicile to a new state that you probably find a Methodist Church or some church at least to attend in Florida if you're a lifelong member of the University of Michigan Alumni Association you'd probably join the University of Michigan Alumni Association of of Florida are you would likely do you also surround yourself with some suck if you've been active in charitable activities you'd probably find some of those charitable activities to do in your in your new stick<br> things that people should consider before changing their domicile I think it would only make sense to do it and make sure that it makes so one of the things that happens when you change your domicile is he give up your homestead exemption in your in your current state in order to get the homestead exemption in the new state almost every state says you can't have a homestead exemption in Homestead exemption there are for the most part reserved for those people who are domiciled in that state the homestead exemption is very significant just as an example in Michigan at the homestead exemption is very significant I've had I've done the analysis for clients before where we ended up deciding that their savings on income taxes were outweighed by the additional costs of giving up the homestead exception so so it is important to to not just hear that the new state is better but to do the financial analysis figure out whether it really makes sense to make that change and if you're<br> going to do so when did those windows Financial benefits kick in okay so how do you defend against an audit how do you defend against an out-of-state check the change in you get audited you know often times you've already lost because you do it if you're making a change in your going into retirement looking forward to spending some time with the kids and grandkids and on the golf course and you end up in an audit that's just not what anybody wants so I would say it is very important when you make your change of domicile to know the state that you're coming from to know it inside and out and that is the idea of I change my domicile.com making sure that you have a state-specific list to go through keep records of everything that you changed if your changing from a safe deposit box<br> in your tie tack state to a safe-deposit box in a low-tax states keep that information have the records as to when you change when you close the old box when you open the new one thank you Brad for being part of this show it's change my domicile.
