Military or not, are these Texans and Floridians financially contributing to FCPS? |

I don't think it's IRS tax evasion- I think it's car tax evasion. That being said, my parents have a house up here. They spend 6 months + 1 day in FL and the rest up here, so they can still maintain FL residency. (They're from FL) |

I wouldn’t be surprised if other states move to a prorata tax residency model with a much lower threshold than 6 months. Florida is essentially a tax haven operating within the US. Sure, people are meeting Florida’s very lax legal standard for residency. But, frankly, I think someone who spends 4-5 months in Maryland using state & county services should be filing a partial year tax return. The 6 month threshold is way too high. I think a 45 day threshold is more appropriate.
Lots of big companies already withhold taxes on a prorata basis for days worked in individual states. My friend works for a large bank and she always has to file 3-4 state returns each year depend on where her clients are located or if she was remote working from elsewhere. Her bank employee would automatically track VPN login and assign tax rate based on the location by day. |

Yes, it’s rental cars. The companies have huge fleets from FL. Probably for the reasons other posters have listed. |

It’s a state tax issue, not federal. Virginia is not understaffed and will send notices if you have filed in VA before. You will have to prove that you have broken domicile with VA. Same with DC. |

No. If they are Floridian they are filing federal taxes as a Florida Resident and pay local property taxes for the Florida county that they live in if they are a property owner. Now that I think of it I think veterans are exempt from our local property taxes state wide in Florida. We passed a new law to that effect. I'm not sure if active duty personnel have to pay local property taxes in Florida that the rest of our civilians have to. They may be exempt due to the new law for veterans. |

If they live in FCPS, whether their permanent home of residence is FL or TX or wherever else: they're paying property taxes on the home they own in Fairfax County, just like every other homeowner; they're renting a home in Fairfax County where the rent amount covers the property taxes; or they're living on Ft. Belvoir and FCPS receives federal impact aid for them. |

| So many people are responding that these are military plates from FL and TX. Does this scare anyone? I am not sure I want my kids to attend school with kids whose parents are war mongers. |

| Once military retire, do they have to give up their FL or TX residency if they decide to remain in the DMV? |

Yes, unless they have or buy a home in FL and spend 6 months per year there. |

| Every time I read a thread like this I'm like why haven't I left the DC area yet. There is hope for the future, these threads prove it. |

You realize this is a tax issue for states not the IRS? |

Many if you don’t understand residency requirements
You do not have to spend 6 months plus one day in FL or whatever state in which you are claiming residency. States are happy to have you claim residency regardless of time You have to be OUT of the state, for example Maryland, where you are trying to avoid residency Just one basic example- 5 months in Florida, Delaware or wherever , 2 weeks on vacation somewhere, 15 days visiting family members during various holidays. Rest of time in Maryland and Maryland has no claim on you as a resident. |

No requirement to spend 6 months THERE You have the requirements backwards. |
