[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I moved to Florida from an state-income tax state (really moved, permanantely) and I had to get a lot of documentation to prove to the old state that I was now a Florida resident, including my employer having to send a letter.

I'm not rich though, just normal, just saying [b]dodging isn't easy.[/b][/quote]

It is, especially if you don’t have traditional W2 income. Plus, if you’re rich you have lawyers who fight your departing state on your behalf. Here’s a fun story: we got a piece of mail for an old neighbor who lived next to us (rental apartment bldg in DC). I opened it and started reading, not noticing the name. Well, it was a letter from my neighbor’s attorney/accountant who was fighting against DC from assessing taxes on her $900K trust disbursement FOR THAT YEAR. My neighbor - in her late 20s - was claiming out of state residency when I knew for a fact that she lived FT in DC. DC Dept of Revenue wanted to get paid, it looks like she had not paid DC taxes in a few years because of the dispute. It was cheaper for her lawyers to fight DC instead of actually paying up.

Paying taxes is for “little people”, just like Leona told us.[/quote]
