If u move to another state a partial is still due the state, county, and or city you left. Unless those entities do not pro-rate.
Yep. Same with CA. Sold our house there last year. Entire capital gains beyond the exemption are taxable in CA. No pro-rating. I have no problem with that. Report that and the income earned while living in CA and be done with it.
Out of the cases, any idea how many were in the partial year residency you write about? I would also like to know how many were demokraps. I also wish state authorities would be as diligent in their voter rolls.
When a person leaves a physical home in NY and relocates to another state, then the question of residency arises. I believe NY has certain real estate tax exemptions, maybe over 65 and veteran exemptions ...for residents. If they were claiming those then of course it is easy to link them to whether they filed income taxes. The counties periodically send out notice for a resident to re-certify exemption qualification.
While I may not like paying excessive taxes, if we are going to have a country worth living in, the rule of law must be maintained. Trump said as much in one of the debates on how many years he has been audited. He didn’t like it, but he knew these were the rules, and he plays by the rules. Don’t like the law, then one needs to complain to one’s representatives, etc to change them. I don’t blame NY for pursuing legitimate claims of unpaid taxes, even if a beautiful state is being run now by the leftists like Cuomo. I am betting some of these NY fleeing scofflaws are well to do demokraps.
