the state is looking at such things as where people vote, that is all that matters, isn't it?
Guess they’ll just stay in Florida then.

Probably both places.
Are you a Minnesotan? The answer may surprise you.
No one has ever said how many Minnesota folks play this dual-state status. From my three years in Tucson....I had the feeling that I bumped into a Minnesotaite almost daily after 1 October, and rarely saw any of them after March. It’d be curious to know how many of them leave for the winter.

As with most rules, they come about because a few folks abuse the freedom they have. When someone follows ‘the letter of the law’ they are playing the government’s game. If you are an ethical person you don’t need to try and shade things and skate on the edge to save a few bucks.
If you have enough money that you can afford to play these games over taxes then I don’t have a lot of sympathy for your ‘plight’.
Me, I am just one of those poor middle class dupes that works hard, votes, and actually lives where I say I do
It won't generate the money they expect because enough of the the targeted wealthy will likely flee to a low tax state, or make certain they don't meet the residency criteria.
So that projected $1.1 billion may actually end up being lowered by a half to two-thirds. Then the state will complain that revenue is down and they have to raise whatever taxes/fees the legislature thinks they can get a pass on from the voters.
Another great example of American tax policy; raising tax rates that REDUCE tax receipts...which result in MORE tax rate increases. Insanity!
Just one more reason I hate this state and can’t wait to get out.
9.85% state income tax rate has to be one of the highest of the 57 states, no?
Can’t wait to leave. Two months and counting.
Given the typical 183 day residency rule, what happens if one has three residences in three different States. Can one be not a resident of any State of territory?

My company tracks my labor hours by zip code and allocates
state income tax accordingly. I’m an Idaho resident.
That’s where my home, family, property and voting
is done. California gets a large portion of state
income taxes. Nebraska will get some this year as
well. The multi-state income tax filing is a real
pain in the butt.
First of all, THANKS to you TurboZ for keeping us updated on MN.
MN has to keep their Somali population on bennies by sharing the snowbird monies.
Why would they live in Minnesota?
I lived in California several decades ago. The state of California set up a FIELD OFFICE in Las Vegas. The purpose was to find California retirees in Nevada and make them pay California income tax, even though they no longer lived there. The claim was that they earned their pay in CA, had it tax-deferred income there, and therefore needed to pay taxes later, regardless of where they lived.
I was in my 20s, but I knew that it was time to skedaddle, and I went to Texas as fast as I could. One could argue that CA had a point, but I didn’t care to find out either way. If they had that attitude, I wanted NOTHING to do with them.
Its even worse if you are an expat...if you spend 38 days in the US its as if you spent the whole year here. Thus all your income earned abroad is subject to US income taxes.
