[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to register and insure your car where it is garaged (i.e. where your car spends the night). We went through this when my DH worked out of state before we were able to re-locate with him.

Also, I would be careful about the tax thing-- DC has a 183 day rule for tax residency. I believe you can keep your VA domicile (voting, DL, etc), but if you're in DC over 183 days, you're a tax resident. Because of reciprocity, you might be paying VA taxes on your W-2 if you work in DC. I think that might flip, and you would need to pay DC taxes on your wages *and* all other income (investments etc.) if you spend more than 183 days in DC with an abode (i.e. your apartment).

Some states don't have a 183 day rule for residency but many/most do.

I'm going to go with what others have said-- you really should change your residency to DC.

You don't have a house that you own in VA, or dependents. That's where it's okay and common to live/work in one state and domicile in another-- when you have dependents and a residence (that you own) in that other state. Even in a case like that, most states have a 183 day rule for tax residency-- so a person could pay taxes in two states if the domicile tax rate is higher (we've done that). You really need to domicile in DC--in your situation, it's much cleaner.

You don't even have definite plans to move back to VA-- you might buy in Maryland and you don't know when. Do yourself a favor, work with your parents and their insurance company and move your residence to DC. [/quote]
