[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of people do this. Keep track of credit card statements in case you have to prove that you were actually there for 6 months. [/quote]

Exactly. Local tech CEO Saylor got busted for this. In his case, he posted photos on Insta from his yacht in DC on days he claimed he was not in DC:

Well you actually have to move and reside in the other place for 6months+.

We travel a lot so for us, proving we are somewhere 6 months of the year would be difficult, as we spend 3-4 months traveling and would want to split the rest between 2 places.

OP again. We plan to travel a lot as well. But, as a PP suggested, the travel time out of the country can count as part of your 183 days in the new residence. Looking at it that way, I don't anticipate this being difficult at all. Again, our kids will be away at college or on their own by the time this is implemented.

To those of you who think this is somehow wrong: have you never talked to a financial planner or tax attorney? This is the first thing they suggest, especially if you already own a vacation home in a lower tax bracket state. As one told us bluntly, "you don't want to die a DC resident if you can help it."[/quote]
