[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The public was able to tell that Patrick Chauvin and his wife were cheating on their Minnesota taxes because they were voting from their house in Florida which was obviously not their principal residence.[/quote]

He worked for the Minneapolis PD and had not paid state taxes in like 7 years. Totally insane that he was able to get away with that.

No way in hell are the states able to go after most of the state tax scofflaws, especially in the past 2 years when there has been so many people moving. NY, CA, and DC are probably the most aggressive when it comes to go after people who are claiming to live elsewhere. If you’re in the top tax bracket, they will watch you closely.

Florida doesn’t care, except if you are trying to claim a spot in the university system for your kid. Then you might get a closer eye to your status. But really, FL is socking you on the property tax and are happy if you’re paying.

It’s not really that hard to fake Florida residency if you are down there 4-5 times per year. You just need to change your address on all accounts, and do your annual doctor and semi-annual dentist appoints, register to vote, and join a house of worship. That’s plenty of proof.

Until states start actively tracking cell phone tower pings, it will be very hard to prove and they will only expend resources on the biggest tax payers (top 0.5%).[/quote]
